Like the ebay auction a couple weeks ago for a pair of white power mirrors. The seller desribed them as "euro spec" and "european market", as if they were something unusual in North America. I almost felt like asking him if the "OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR" on the right side mirror glass was euro-spec as well. Of course, he also described the glass as being in "mint condition", when the photos very clearly showed the silvering flaking off the edges of the glass as it so often does... -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger" |
