Re: Mitsi UK

Hi,it is,but its not connected to anything now. It is used like the proverbial cat's whiskers,if it goes through the van will as it's a couple of inches higher than the roof high point,dead handy in UK to see if you can get into a carpark under the height barriers as the height signs can be misleadi...

Re: L400s

Looks like there will be pros and cons just like in UK,I think it's whatever you prefer,I'm still a die hard L300 man
