Also bear in mind that in general the roads will be quieter than over here, plus if you're following another participant, all you have to do is hope they get it right! A co driver isn't essential, TBH I know of very few people who I could have put up with (and could have put up with me!) when I did the BXagon. It would help to share fuel costs though.

Can you still buy those little mirrors for the passenger side A post that allows you to see if it's okay to overtake

Yes, but a BX is small enough to safely do a little lean to the left... I had one once but never trusted it: a bit like reversing sensors lol

Even when it did work, it was only when the car was on a billiard table-smooth surface, because hydropneumatics or not, the thing wobbled too much to get a safe impression of the road ahead. Same would go for CCTV camera mounted in front of the left-hand wing mirror with a 7" LCD screen mounted on the passenger-side dash (yes, I had considered it

)

I remember you used to be able to buy adaptive dashboards whereby the steering wheel along with the pedals used to flip from LHD to RHD at the flick of a switch

On the BXagon we got round that problem by using the CBs.

As long as there was a BX in front, he could tell the BX behind if the road ahead was clear.

simples.
