But I don't think they'd suit a Leyland Mini at all :?

There's been a lot of debate about these on Minor forums, too. I think they look effeminate. If it's a girl's car, then maybe that's ok. :lol: There was a lot of discussion as to whether they're legal, and most don't believe they're legal.

Rumour is that they may have been designed to reduce light visible to foreign war planes during/after WWII... :? I can't think of any other practical purpose for them. And I think they're about as good-looking as fluffy dice and bumper stickers. :roll:

I like them too, but as a feminine thing... makes a nice fem-mini

I want to get them when I can get a roundie shell for my project. Then I can drive my ClubMAN and she can drive the Fem-Mini. Would be a nice couple cruise.

Hey Bully I've got a deluxe that you're welcome to look at. I've done hardly anything to it sicne i got it, took a few bits off, but I'm thinking i've taken on too many projects for now, got a 998 in it that (sorta) runs and i've just sourced new front panels as the old ones had dents. PM me if you're lookin for a project - Also, its got SA plates on it still, so no need to visit regency ;)

I think they look good on my EH, which unfortunately needs some doing up before regency will accept it down here in SA, unfortunately couldnt have them on in NSW. But i think you're right with the mini, they do look...girly...no other way to put it. It adds cuteness factor +5. Not looking to have a 'cute' twini lol.

They were never a common accessory in the 60s. That is a complete myth.
They were a fairly rare accessory in the 60s, they were only seen in magazines and were never seen on road cars. I suppose this is due to them being stupid and ugly. Image

Yeah, but my clubman can be the guy and the Roundie can be the girl.
Could even have a double wedding when I marry the missus :P

They're really freaking ugly. There, that's my input. And hi there modelmaker, another mildurian.. you're all coming out of hiding i see. Woo hoo! Soon we might have enough of us for a cruise!

Yes ausmini world, i have the swine flu. No, that does not affect my judgement. Im thinking of painting lil egg (minimatic) in rainbow colors with the eye lashes on just to make a statement. What you think rehab? wanna take it for a spin? being the ultimate gay/fem/self gear changing attention grabbing machine? :D :D
