Re: Rocco in Dave channel COTY 2008

Looks like the sports car reviews will be on this sunday as the freeview programme description is of last weeks luxury car reviews so they must have got the week descriptions mixed up. Hopefully the scirocco will be on!! :clap:

Re: Retro fit folding mirrors?

Retro fit folding mirrors?

Does anyone know if folding mirrors can be retrofited?

Cheers
