The only mirror on the Capri is the rear view mirror.

Not even a wing mirror to be seen :D

Thanks for the advice, new lens on it's way- the nearest appointment I can get is in November.

I will try removing my seatbelt when practising on Thursday. I was initially using the mirros to help my way round, because I was aware that my lens would probably fall out. however, the instructor told me not to do this unfortunately. Ach well, we will see how it goes.

This is hard.

I hope your new lens arrives soon; in the meantime you have the consolation that you have now emerged into a section of the population otherwise occupied by the elderly and infirm: you are the sort of person who loses his contact lens when reversing the car!

Welcome to the happy band of brothers.

How are the lessons going, or are you still off the road waiting for new lenses?

Yeh, I have continued learning and have been using my old contact lens. I am waiting for a new one to come through. Had my 9th lesson today- starting to get the hang of it! And my lenses havent fallen out since! :lol:

Careful what you say, we don't want to tempt fate and loose the spare lens :D
