I don't know, but inventory is getting lower as we speak.

It didn't help that the first thing I did this morning was crash the engraving cutter into one and scrap it out.

I can easily texture the top in the CNC mill; I'd prefer not to mess with knurling the sides, though.

Hey Doug....make me one like this with a yin yang on it and add it to my order for the cabinet handle bases . Betsy thinks I am crazy, but she said, yes, you can have "another" shift **** for your birthday

Mr. Whalen, have you worked with titanium at all? I have one of your shift ***** in stainless steel in my M3 - love it, but it is quite a beast in the summer of AZ.

Hey, Doug... I know you are ultra-busy, and sorry if you already answered this question and I missed it, but....

Before you went to MITM, I believe you said you were going to work on the fitting of your custom ***** on the CVT and Steptronic automatic transmissions for the MINI.

What's the status ? I'm ready to order another one, or maybe even two more, from you.

I've decided not to make them for CVT and auto transmissions.
I can't remember which, but I know that some ***** have lockout buttons or levers on them, and I don't want to be involved in defeating any type of safety device.
And with all the things on my plate lately, I don't want to be making so many variations of my attachment mechanism.

Sorry!

I understand, Doug. Disappointed, of course because I love your product, but I do understand your business decision.

Guess I'm going to have to go back to manual transmissions just to get a cool shift ****.

How many shift ***** do you have?
Do you just randomly switch them up?

that is too funny, just 3 weeks ago, I told Doug to make those, haha. He then mentioned he could do handles for plungers, etc. The poor man, he will never get any rest.

Given that comment and your User Name, I would guess that you're either a plumber, a septic tank pumper, or just a little weird.
