Painful knob solution - ALL SORTED :o)

Post by TitanTim »

Hi all,

OK serious question, with the colder weather with us now how can I overcome my knob being literally a pain to hold in the hand :| This morning it was well below freezing at 6.30 and with having the AC Schnitzer all alloy knob its literally a pain when changing gear. As I've only used the Zed during the summers it was never an issue in the past.

I'm sure I saw a thread on here years ago where someone had a woolly knob cover :lol: Have tried doing a search on the net but I've only found Hello Kitty Knob covers :shock:

Only other solution is some Lesley Phillips driving gloves :shock:

HELP!

Tim.

Have you tried googling 'painful knob'? :roflmao:

Do you know anyone that knits? Could be like a Christmas jumper for your gearstick. Maybe with a robin or a reindeer on.

Why would you want to illuminate your knob? You should instinctively know where it is. Surely that's a bit Chav!

Hi Tim

Surely you have not forgotten this previous Bog Knib thread?
The question of illuminated knobs was discussed and I said:

Gloves are the only answer - I don't know why some people have a prejudice against them, as they improve one's grip on the wheel without having to grip it harder, protect the hands from cold, and in summer stop your hands from being sunburnt.

Hello Mr T thanks for reminding me :lol: I have been suitably told :D

For those that don't know the illuminated knob was standard issue on the Sport models although it was a tad long for my taste. I've been looking at the shorter version fitted to the 5 series which might be better.

In the meantime as Mike suggests I've gone for a pair of these :oops:

Let's face it - if we were really worried about peer pressure and fashion we would not be driving a Z3, which is known - by those who claim to be expert in such matters - as the worst sports car ever made!

If people in normal cars see us wearing gloved, it will only confirm their second-hand opinions . . .

Meanwhile, if you prefer fashion to function, put up with cold hands - it's that simple.

My concern for those opinions is non-existent. I think at my age I'm entitled to drive naked, wearing a Stetson, snakeskin western boots and gloves if I choose...I note someone else on the forum considers arseholes and opinions to be closely linked too..... :D

No suggestions from any of our lady forum members I see. (Perhaps members is the wrong word?) :twisted:

They obviously wear gloves, or perhaps they don't have cold shiney knobs in their Zeds

Hi Gill, how come the Storm is too large? it can't be much larger than OEM? I'm toying with getting a new illuminated one. The original one on Basil was the longer type but I quite fancy the stubby version if I can find one.

If you do get one Gill bear it mind it'll freeze your fingers then you will have to post up a Knob thread, but being a girl you can get away with it :lol:

I think they look larger as theyre more bulbous :shock:

How about the ACS one? personally I preferred it over the Storm as they look a bit bland to me, downside is the ACS one is eye wateringly expensive :( They do come up on e-bay but but you have to weed the copies out from the genuine ones.

For a really simple solution, a small leather pouch with a drawstring or even a nylon zipper...that can be fitted over the cold knob would be adequate for the winter, and easily stored in the rear box when not required. :?:

They were made from kangaroo scrotum skin.

Those pouches are commonly available in a synthetic "leather" from the less expensive jewelry sellers. I think they use them instead of bags or boxes to put the sold items into...I seem to recall the Chinese and Indian outlets using them to put the trinkets in after a sale.
Perhaps the ultimate would be to dig out your childhood "marble bag." That's if you kept your marbles in a bag ? :bounce:
