I hope the owner of my old Rex is out there reading this or has read my comments at the video because I lost his email and really want to know what he did with her...that was over ten years ago and he had it transported to Jersey...I pray it's not riding on 20" chrome wheels...

Sounds good to me. Just a fair warning, I might need cleaned up after seeing MSFITOY I really don't want to travel with a mop and bucket.

Miss me? *I get home Friday and found the box from Doug...YEAAHHH!!!! The modification to my original design turned out to be perfect...same shape but the cylinder shortened by 15mm and now it fits my large hand perfectly allowing my pinky to wrap around the lower taper and thumb over the top providing outstanding grip and leverage...

I rush to my PC to post updates and aaaaaaaaaaaRRRRRGGGGGG!!!! My modem took a dumper so I called service, they show up early while I was out, chased them around, got the modem replaced, my PC doesn't recognise the modem, last resort...rebuild the box...:impatient 24hours later, I'm finally back online...oii

Here it is...Thanks Doug for an outstanding job in making my design come to life...I'm very happy with it and it already looks right at home in my "cockpit"...I'm sure you guys will enjoy this grip as much as I will...

LOL, that shift **** is great, Doug does fantastic work, I might be his biggest fan.

Sid, your interior stresses me out ...how do you keep sane in there? Does it ever make you feel overwhelmed?

Either way, it is a fantastic addition to a well thought out interior!!!

Just got back from a sick local Mini run and the shifter is insane I think it makes a huge difference. Very nice!

Sid yours looks awesome.
