I'm interested too as I must say that the shift **** is really the only thing I really dislike about my MINI.

How hot do the billiard ***** get? I know the all metal ones can get pretty hot in the summer.

Don't know. I've never driven much with a pool ball **** on the car.

I'm sure that someone will chime in; I've shipped several of them to some hot climate areas, including AZ.

I've been working on this pile of ***** for days; taking them to MMMT in a couple weeks (hopefully, not bringing them all back!).

Don't worry; I can't afford to ship them. That's why I'm carrying them to San Francisco.

I have a #6 pool ball from Whalen and I LOVE it! Doesn't get hot in the summer, and it matches my car! :-) (Not to mention it is a dual purpose since the car is, of course, a 6-speed). :-)

I have a #7 ball in my '03 R53...It is fantastic!

Nice feel when you grip it, not too hot in the sun...and warms up nice in the winter.

The Whalen ball is well made...and stays put as advertised!

#7 was my CASC (our version of SCCA) racing nuber for over 10 years as well as my hockey number for 25 years. With the dark colour of this pool ball, many people mistake it for a red wood.

I wouldn't have a clue as to how that's done.

The part of the car that you thouch the most other than the steering wheel deserves a little thought. Has anyone tried the Robin Cassidy *****? I like the idea of wood.

One thing I forgot to mention and that I really liked about the Momo was I also bought the shift boot, which screws onto the bottom of the ****. I may be strange, but I really hated the gap between the boot and the **** on the stock shifter. This set up remedied that.
