Ok, driving down some very tight lanes near Lulworth in Dorset. Pulled right in tight to the verge(LHD) still managed to drive my big m/t tyres up the side of a car. Other driver hadn't pulled far enough in and I couldn't see how close due to being so high up and wrong hand drive. No damage to mine fortunately, but made me really cautious after. Looking at the width compared to my T3, will have to be more aware.

Ouch for the other driver, perhaps. The missus won't drive mine. Too big she says, haha.

The width you see on the inside is just about the size on the outside, still surprises me and scares Dearly Beloved. The front is even worse, you can nearly kick out that far.

Not hit anything......    I think I better stop right there.....

There are times when a little window in the bottom of the door would be a boon.

You might be on to something there :-)
I do have a clever little extra mirror that I forgot to look in!
Will post a photo of it when I figure out how to post them here.
Cheers

PM them to me and I will post them if you wish. 

Once you get to grips with the Heavenmans' way of doing things, it is easy enough.

Mine tends to scare people onto the shoulder. Perhaps a lift and bigger tyres? More lights on the front?

Get a train horn Ray. Fire that off when people come barrelling toward you at inappropriate speed an it'll give them something to think about :-D

You've got lots of ground clearance for a couple of horns and compressor under the floor !

Back in the slow lane, yeah!
