JohnCh Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Looks nice! Not to hijack your thread, but if anyone wants a nice, round aluminum shift knob, then check out the knobmeister (despite the name, it is a safe site to view at work ). For $20 he will laser engrave anything you want on the surface. I had him do the Westfield logo, but he could easily do the “7” logo, “USA7s” or whatever else you want. http://home.comcast.net/~cobar/images/shiftknob.jpg -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scannon Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 +1 for the Knobmeister. Joe is a friend of mine and makes great shift knobs among many other things. He will make custom knobs in all kinds of wood as well as the metal ones with whatever you want on them. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB6 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Too funny, I have just a plain aluminium ball (sorry aluminum, why did they do that I think it was just to piss off us Brits, well we will take most of your language but we will do our own things to it because.,..... well because, we can so there, and by the way lets change all the sizes of gallons and pints and in the imortal words of Eddie Izzard " In the UK we say Herb not Erb cuz theres a fkn H in it". Anyway in my normal logwinded way I am coming to a point, I did not drive my car prior to buying it, just sat in the seat, went "Brum, Brum" and let my friend who has driven plenty test drive and evaluate the car, this car was within minutes of downtown Seattle and trash pick up day so for once I was thinking smart. Anyways, got it home on a trailer, and we rolled it back into the garage, he left I went out on my first drive, had to pull nose in at my local pub to show my mates my pride and joy, had 2 pints (being a good boy) then came to leave;by now about 20 pple sitting outside were looking plus the crew I know, I fire up, blip , blip, and I go forward, damn where is reverse,I had no idea, had to make a call to my friend, he told me hard left and up, okey doke, nope 1st gear again, now I an getting ebarassed,, hard to look like Partick McGhohan when you cannot reverse your own car,...decide to take a leak,burn my ankle exiting the car with my short socks ands $10.00 Camo Waffle Racers on, (James Bond I was not) and called the owner , who tells me "oh yeah you have to push down too". Got home, poured a Scotch and just had to laugh out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomove Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 But mine is smooth and pleasant to touch and has nice brown streaks.... Not to forget, it saves about half an ounce over an aluminum knob http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/544159446_woodshiftknob.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
