'Plucking' Pheasants

Post by sonic23 »

A damn Pheasant decided to take off right in front of the van the other day whilst I was doing 60 mph - and juding by my shattered Syncro truck mirror I'd say he has a right old headache.

The mirror glass is completely shattered, and the plastic housing is also cracked. The arm is fine - so I'm just after a replacement mirror+housing. I've got a complete spare set of syncro truck mirrors - but does anyone know if you can get a heated mirror unit that can be bolted onto the existing frame instead?

cheers,
Rich

Try a pheasant at 350 degrees at 25 minutes per lb leaving to stand for 15 minutes. Consume with a red from the Southern Rhône or perhaps even a mature Côtes du Roussillon. Mmmmmmm :rofl :rofl
