Aerial flags only look good when the MINI is static. And you need a little breeze and a CLEAN flag (note Soggy). Once you start driving they wrap themselves around the aerial and create so much drag that the aerial bends to an unsightly angle. My 2p.

There is just one moon and one golden sun; And a smile mean friendship to ev'ryone; Through the mountains divide, and the oceans are wide; It's a small world after all.

i got a job lot of england flags from Clinton Cards last year as it was coming up to St. George's day - they had loads of england stuff & these flags were the ideal size & only 99p each. they were perfect to slide off the stick they came on & straight onto the arial, then just fasten on with 2 zip ties. i've only got 2 left now so i'll be looking for new ones soon.

you do hear them flapping about when you're driving but my mini only wears them for sunday best, ie runs

The mickey ear ones are only available at Disney World (I think) - my mum is a bit Disney crazy and has a whole collection! (She always gets people to bring them back. May be worth checking your local Disney store though?) When I get a chance (though probably not tonight as I am out) I will take some pics of them and post them up! They are cute (though going nowhere near my MINI!!!!).
