Folding mirrors poll

Postby colm_mcm » Mon Oct 08, 2007 1:43 pm

I've noticed (or it's been pointed out!)on a few FTO's that when the mirrors are folded, the passenger side mirror folds in more than the drivers side.

How about yours?

Does that apply to just the original post or the whole forum?
It could cause some major confusion... :D

You're not alone, I'm just as sad... and yes, closer on the passenger side.

Same here. So that means it was specifially designed that way (yeah I know, that's not rocket science), is there a prize for the first one to come up with the reason?

So there's less chance of pedestrians bumping their heads in the region for which the car was originally intended?
