Cold weather; my knob's cold!!
 

Heated seats? Great. But that gear shift knob for the first 20 minutes is freezing!! Has anyone seen a product that fits over the cold metal to keep your shift hand from freezing?

Try a sock.

I was hoping for something a little more asthetically pleasing :(

I am thinking about getting a Whalen then having it covered in leather, with hand stitching MoMo style.

There was a lady I met at the Dragon this fall who was selling leather with lining knob cozy’s.

She was with the Indiana group is all I remember. MINIclo talked with her for some time and may know her name/screen name. Drop her a PM. :thumbsup:

yeah same problem for the alabama summer-when you forget to put up the sunshade, the shift knob gets REALLY hot. Talk about quick shifts for the first couple of minutes.:lol:

i heard of this invention called the driving glove. They come in pairs and everything:lol: :lol: :thumbsup:

How about a condom:lol: :lol: :lol: Nothin hurts more than a "cold" knob:eek2: :lol: Seriously, get a Whalen Shift knob so you can take in at night.

(In my best Buthead voice) He said KNOB! Huh Huh - Huh! :roll:

fur lined undies?

rub it for awhile. it'll warm up :wink:

Sounds like a personal problem.:lol:

PM MINItencan...she knows how to contact the gal. I bought a set of "Seat Pull Straps" from her, which are fantastic! They make it much easier to lower and raise the backseats!

Clover :thumbsup:

Leather driving gloves are the only way........you'll feel like and honest to goodness race car driver! Why in the world would I even consider covering my Whalen knob? :wink:

No one is listening:sly: REMOVE the Whalen knob and put it in your pocket...or with your other knob to keep warm:roll:

We have the shift knob cozes here in IN. She makes them with the S or MINI embrodered into it. They work great I put mine on weeks ago, and it doesn't slip around like a sock will. Her NAM id is glMINI. If you can't get in touch with her drop me an email and I will get her to you.:grin:

A designer sock?

If you think the factory knob is cold, you should try a Whalen! Now THAT'S ccccccold.

try an iPod sock.

hahahaha

oh wait, that's just a cut off sock... nm.

brrrr, the thought of a cold knob is not a good one :eek:

Cold Knob? Does that make the shift shorter?:wink:



Paul

ROFLMAO:lol: Good one:thumbsup:

Thanks for the info MINIGURU. As for the rest of you; grow up! :razz: :smile:

ok, fine :razz: My Whalen gets extremely cold and extremely hot... so when I first get in the car I either cover it with something, or just grab right below the knob... doesn't make for fanstastic shifting, but temperatures get back to normal pretty soon. I'm hoping to make a little 'booty' for my knob ( :sly: :lol: ) out of fleece with some elastic on the bottom.

--- yeah Sid, I know you can just take a Whalen inside with you... but mine really isn't very easy to remove/replace. In other words... I just can't get my knob off properly :sad: :razz:

NO WAY MAN...That would mean we'd have to give up our Minis:razz:
