I ended up getting the Milenco Aero mirrors again, but the latest version are a whole lost better as you don't need to mess with the strap anymore. Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

milenco aero are currently the only CE marked mirrors and to use non CE marked mirrors on a 2006/7 8 car could result in a very heavy fine and invalidated insurance Shocked

Who owns milenco, they seem to have the market stitched up. Taking money from vaners seems as easy as taking candy from a baby...

After sorting the site, maintaining it, mowing the grass etc ,I'd want more than £5 a night unless there is a minimum stay agreement. It wouldnt be worth checking a customer in for a fiver. Or is that £5 a head?
Prehaps I could leave a tap on all night flood the entrance then charge £50 each van towing out fee when the vans get stuck in the mud Laughing
A site near me was charging a towing fee after heavy rain, which I though outrageous, so I undercut them and towed a van out with my tractor Laughing ..beer money for me! At work

Plans for the CG caravan site are not going well, My bank manager says I will never make any money if I insist on the no caravans, no overnight sleeping rules!


ps. non refundable deposits are already been taken for those keen on booking a place at CG's wonderful caravan site. please make cheques payable to Aston Martin ltd Laughing At work

Many thanks for your helpful replies. If I buy one Milenco Aero, can I use it on either side which I need to do when touring abroad?

You must have two towing mirrors both in the UK and abroad. It's the law Shocked
