gear lever knob

theres no way the gear knob will get stained with nicotine fingers.her majesty is disdainful of any vehicle not fitted with an automatic transmission and i dont smoke.
she can drive a manual and does occasionally when needs must but she is a confirmed fan of the auto.she is insured to drive it as we both are for each others cars, the aero estate is her car for transporting kids and dogs in. i dare not tell you what sort of condition that beautiful car is inside. the kids and dogs are constantly trying to outdo each other in who makes the most mess and my wife runs nurseries-kids ones-and her car is generally full of "stuff". i do occasionally clean it out when the big mac boxes reach the windows...............

Doc Chevrons the man to ask about 16v bits, as hes broken a couple lately and he likes his smokes too

yep, all the cool kids smoke.
People that dont smoke and dont drink dont actually live longer, it just SEEMS like it.

I dont have any gearknobs left though, not valver ones anyhow, they always disappear faster than Max Clifford after a murder suspect.

So what's the difference?

I've got one from an MGF - a friend gave it to me as a present so it has been transferred from car to car where possible (done about 200k miles with it now!)

Aren't the valver one's larger, so perhaps some people arent used to having such a large knob in their hand before & thats why they get excited

I've upgraded my BX TGD to a GTi knob. It IS faster. That's a genuine fact Bro.
