I am curious as to if the arial things are of any use for anything or just for scrap. They come in little sets of two.

One of the vans at the Shorne meet had these - two inverted v ariels on the back - I don't think they are for satnav - not GPS anyway. They look more like FM TV.

Mine's got them and I was told they were TV aerials that are no use in this country.

Could they be angled up into a "v" for victory sign for tailgaters?
