This shift knob is a unique piece of automotive artistry. There is no other like it. It's an antique steam pressure gauge and is cradled in an equally old steam valve handle. So it's a "NEW" shift knob comprised of vintage pieces. Of course mounted to your shifter, it no longer actually registers pressure but I have counter weighted the mechanism so the needle moves with the motion of the vehicle and shifter. The threaded brass insert will be custom sized to match your particular shifter thread size. And the insert is easily changed to other sizes should you ever change vehicles or shifters in the future. So you can keep this knob forever to use in every car you will ever own. Captain Nemo originally ordered this for his Submarine but he went under before he picked it up. Then H.G. Wells said he wanted to use it in a time machine he was building but he wound up too late. Finally Dr. Frankenstein
did receive it but he returned it. 'Said something about a fire. NOTE! The buyer must determine the thread size needed and inform me before I can ship. |

All the thrills & spills of F1 2008
Sat, 13 Dec 2008The 2008 F1 Season was probably one of the best for many a year. Thrills, spills, arguments, back-stabbing, overtaking – you name it, F1 had it. But with the world’s economic woes currently biting at the heels of F1 (Honda leaving F1 being the first casualty) this could well be the last F1 season for some time that feels like a real celebration of the excesses of Motor Sport.
