The chrome on my gear knob is badly fading & looking V scratched....could have something to do with the rings on my fingers....anybody else having this problem??

Sounds like time for another Mod:D

yea...thats what I thought.....went to my local 'carnoisseur' & was presented with a alloy knob with flashing blue led's on it!!! Err...no thanx mate:lol:
Ideally I would like to find one exactly the same that was made of brushed alloy instead of plastic...any ideas anyone?

Similar problem here too... fading quite badly. I think TRD do a leather gear knob replacement...

my knobs knackered aswell but im quite brutal with it some times and like resting my hand on it while driving...............im getting a new knob soon

Oh dear...... 'cos I like the feel of it in my hand, I do tend to rest my hand on it, and absent mindedly find I am rubbing it - will I wear it out????? Actually - it seems to start moving after a while, worried it may come off in my hand - have others found this?

i have found that twisting my knob while driving has made it come off in my hand .........

Ahhh - not just mine then! I thought perhaps something was wrong - I wasn't intentionally twisting, I think it was when I was grabbing gears a little too quickly and then hanging on too long.......

Hehe...thought I'm the only one with this problem...

Thats what I like to see....a combined effort of male & female club members lowering the tone!:lol::lol::?:

Lowering???? You obviously weren't at Gaydon..... believe me, the tone was much lower!!

Not me though - I am a good girl, innocent comments just get mis-interpreted! :saint:

Hmmmm.....Sounds like im missing out on the meets big time, & it looks like i wont be able to make it to jae either because ive got my girls that weekend. Roll on the next meet!! As for being a good girl....I havent heard anyone call you that but then again I havent heard anybody call you a bad girl either:lol:

Well you will all be pleased to know that I have now got a new knob! It's longer, thicker & a lot more hard wearing than my previous one! It feels great as I thrust it backwards and forwards, only trouble is my girlfriend isnt too keen on it...she says it's too big...oh well you cant have everything....if anyone is interested, let me know & i will post a picture of it on here & tell you where I got it from...he he he:lol:

Some of us have autos - means we don't have to keep grabbing our knobs to make our cars go faster:lol:

is it battery powered:lol:

No 'fraid not mat, but if the guy at carnoisseur had his way he would have sold me the battery powered one with flashing blue led's in it! :yes:

:cool:.........get the neon washer jets aswell:o
