Just recieved this today from Doug Whalen took a week from order to being in my hand. The guy is a genius and a Gentleman. Cannot praise his service and workman ship enough. Anyone who does not have one should. It lifts the interior and makes it a pleasure to change gear

P.S.
This is my second one

That looks pretty cool.

Ray,
Is that one for the new R56 Dooper? Didn't realise Doug had started making R56 knobs just yet.

I love my Whalen, it is one of the best mods I've done, adn as you say Doug is a real gent.

And the gear change is as smooth as cream cheese

TheBigNewt · Jun 24th, 2008, 09:04 PM

I have one of these (and the ebrake handle as well). Very different than the metal Whalen ware.
