I didn't think you had noticed when we were in that private booth at Weston last weekend.

I have a pic of me wearing a false pair of specs with a life-size rubber penis nose but unfortunately Photof*cket decided to censor it. I've still got the pic and the specs.

Is that nob solid alloy?  If so, it will be ferkin cold, and no-one likes to get their hands round a cold nob!

I don't know if it's alloy. But I once had a car with a solid alloy gear knob and not only was it frost bite in Winter but burning in Summer!

I had the same with a Vectra GSI - had to hacksaw the ba$tard off, and get an Irmscher one on instead.  No way was I gonna get some Stirling Moss string backed driving gloves!
