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!

Don't some Dragsters have similar system of multiple gear levers to help avoid mis-shifting?

Lenco gearbox I think, think they've gone now and racers use sequential gearboxs now.

I think lencos were outlawed from some categories but there still in use.

Or like this for the rest of the interior?

You beat me to it. It's exactly the era of Yank stuff that doesn't work for me, but I can appreciate to each their own.

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.

AKA the loud and the ludicrous! I actually watched 6 as a chum of mine supplied the Unimogs and the tanks for the Longcross stunts and 3D LIDAR modelling.
