So you jump in a car and are faced with.... Lightning Rods??

Vid explaining how they work:

How they work
all three back = low

move the right shifter up = 2nd

move the middle shifter up = 3rd

move the left shifter up = OD







Completely and utterly barmy!! But also completely and utterly cool

Pah!

But does that vehicle look like this on the outside?



Or like this for the rest of the interior?

I hope not, that looks bloody terrible.

Well each to their own. Personally I quite like the boxy styling and Volvo obviously did for a long time. Most people like these too these days, although they follow the same styling cues.




Either way, I guess I prefer this to things like the jelly mould Sierra type of styling.

What an abolute faff.

Yes, probably fun when at WOT in a straight line away from the lights. I'm not sure how it works if you are in 4th and floor it, I'm guessing it might not have a traditional kick down.

I also don't know what happens if you move the levers in the wrong order, unless it locks them so you can't.

I guess you'd have to drive it like a sequential box, so no block changes. If you wanted 2nd and you where in 4th, you'd need to go 4th -> 3rd -> 2nd.
