Dials and gauges in weird places.
Discussion
Not sure of the best way of wording this thread but I was looking at pictures of the ZL1 Camaro earlier.
When I come across the interior photos I couldn't help but notice what a bizzare place the oil temp, oil pressure, volts & boost gauges have been housed.
Imagine trying to check any of these whilst actually driving.
I then thought of the new mini cooper with the big ben sized speedo in the centre of the dash and it got me thinking, what other cars have dials and gauges in areas out of the norm.
Please no halfords specials with redundant dials blue tacked to the interior pillar.
Factory fitted only.
Over to you.

Not dials and gauges, but Alfa have to win any battle of weird ergonomics, hands down.
I've had two - a 155 with the rear fog light switch on the end of the light stalk, and the front fog light switch under the handbrake - and a 75 with the electric window switches in the headlining... Bless 'em.
You've just reminded me of TVR with the button on the wing mirror to get in, understandably for a smooth door finish but the button to open from the inside being on the centre console.
