All you need now is a complimenting Knight Rider rectangular steering wheel.

Same as mate......Always loved them!!

Two funny stories aswell about them.....

Whan I had my Astra GTE 16v back in the late 90's I remember taking some really attractive but very thick girl out. I was coming back on this very long bit of 'private road' doing over 120mph. I am concentrating like mad when she says very casually 'Oh look, your speedo says one two three' !!

The other one was in my 309 GTI that I had put a digi in. This was 5 or so years ago. I teach Kickboxing and have been doing this for years. A few of my mates from the gym wanted to come along to a training session and to see what they thought. So I offered to pick them up. Now I am fairly big as been bodybuilding for 15 years, 16st and 6ft but these blokes make me look tiny! Well all 3 of them squeezed into my 309 to which they all said 'Check out the dash.....Paul that is amazing'  As they were not into cars they never knew about the digi dash so for the 20 mins it took to get from the gym to my training hall they were all going on about the dash.....it was a classic!!

Not a fan either tbh! It'll take quite a bit of skill to get them to fit properly and look half decent.

That blue set are a rubbish fit and just look like a massive bodge, then there's the colour :sick:
