I hope all my Spridgiteers who celebrate had a Merry Christmas. I'm
visiting my aunt and uncle here in Carmel California but we are all sick
with a cold although I couldn't be happier because I love them so much. I'm
a native Californian and always love coming home.

I hope your LBC received something nice from Santa even if just plans for
TLC.
Lin

62 California Sprite "Pinky"

I need something different for my Sprite because despite my having  
tightened up the adjustment mechanism it bends down once driven over  100mph.

It is an aerodynamic pointy mirror!  I think I need one of those fancy  
door mounted brackets that make it stick about 8 inches clear of the bodywork  
that reduces drag by having the mirror only create it's own drag rather than 
 create it's own drag + create more drag around the bodywork.  I'll bet  
there is another 1 mph to be had.
 
Regards

That might work, in fact anything that doesn't move under 125 will be  ok.

After I last moved the driver's seat I also moved the blind spot.   What 
happens on 3 lane carriageway is that I will be driving at approx 70mph in  
the middle lane, passing vehicles doing 50-65mph on the inside lane. I will  
catch up with someone doing 65 in the same lane as myself who is passing 
someone  doing 50mph in the inside lane.  I will indicate and pull out into a  
seemingly clear outer lane only to find a car has entered my blind spot and  
simply 'sat' there at a speed only about 1mph faster than I am travelling  
it.  After the first couple of occurences and after I fitted the door  mirror 
I find I could count several seconds from when I car disappeared from my  
interior rear view mirror and appeared alongside me.  The door mirror  covers 
those valuable seconds for me.
 
Regards

Daniel

I am sure it was not a trivial decision for you to compromise the CD of the
car with an exterior mirror!
My daily driver (actually, Trish's DD) is a 2013 Focus ST. Much as I love
the car, I am very glad they put wide-angle inserts in the door mirrors.
Unlike a Spridget, the whole car is a blind spot from the driver's seat
back, and without those inserts it would be terrifying to change lanes.
