At the meet in Aberdeen last night Maxine and Jordan were both asking about my gear knob and I promised to post the details on here. Its called a Whalen shift machine and really is a fantastic product. It seems to make the shift more positive - probably cause its so damn heavy - and feels great in your hand.
I know a lot of the "old hands" on here have them and as far as I know they all love them, but some of the newer members may not have heard of them so here is all the info.
You can buy them here

If you email Doug Whalen he can do pretty much any design you want on the top of it in a few different finishes.
There is a gallery over on Mini2 of some of the designs people have had here

In the past Doug has done discounts for bulk orders - so if you can get enough interest you might be able to get a discount. All in all the shift machine is a great piece of kit and even though I ended up getting stung for the import duty on mine I am still well pleased with it.
