Hi guys,

I'm getting a Whalen for myself, so I thought "Why not organise a Group Buy to save us all some money

". I've spoken to Doug about it, and he has said that anything over 2 orders he will provide free shipping, and if we can get over 10 he will give us free engraving!

They normally cost roughly AUD$210 + postage for a custom engraved one - but if we can get more than 10 orders then it will work out to around $180 (depending on the exchange rate), which is a great saving!

Keep in mind you can choose your own design for the knob!

Orders:

Baker
FLiPSiDE
IML337
GOGADGET
minigolf
smurfn
Red&blackS
ChilliRedS
nealskilling

Cheers,

Kevin

Yeah my original gear knob is starting to get a little ratty after 2 years so i've thought about it a few times... wouldnt mind a custom engraved one... i'll have to get the pic i want and email doug about it and stuff.. but yeah i'll put my name down if it means we get a bit of a discount sure why not

IML337 · Oct 5th, 2004, 02:27 AM

GOGADGET · Oct 5th, 2004, 03:04 AM

I'll be in this, I would like an engraved one similar to this.......

Baker · Oct 5th, 2004, 04:46 AM

I've updated the first post with your names, and details of a great new offer that Doug has offered us!

Thanks Baker. ScottyB is your man re Sigs

Also I don't know if Vic has seen this thread but he may be interested ( on big drives he loves playing with his knob, especially when it's cold, and then telling us about it over the 2 way radio

)

MickyD · Oct 5th, 2004, 06:40 AM

When is the cut-off for this GB? $180 is a bit expensive for a gear knob

so I better read more about it first.

minigolf · Oct 5th, 2004, 10:19 AM

Hmm, I was thinking of the standard 6-gate pattern/wings logo, but I like the sound of Micky's idea. Let me know when you need an asnwer.

Cheers Liam

eltel · Oct 5th, 2004, 10:46 AM

I'd love to replace my crappy 2004 plastic knob with one of those Whalen's engraved with my JCW number - there's a pic of one somewhere in this huge MINI2 universe.

However even $180 is stretching it. Think I'll wait until Saturday's tattslotto results come though.

Smurfn · Oct 5th, 2004, 10:54 AM

I'm in !!!

SMURFN on the gearstick

Already done up a design in the SMURF font (at least Scotty has for me)

Baker · Oct 5th, 2004, 11:20 AM

I've added you guys smurfn and minigolf. eltel, you know you want one mate

Dairyboy, these knobs, while pricey, are the best on the market bar none.

minigolf · Oct 5th, 2004, 11:30 AM

A Momo knob would be around AU$500 wouldn't it?

a bit less than that haha but momo knobs are generally crap quality

my mate bought a nice chrome looking momo knob less than a year ago, the chromes already worn thru and it needs to be thrown out.. he's less than impressed haha

n00b · Oct 5th, 2004, 11:53 AM

Had a few Momo's in my lifetime - generally they are fairly nice to grab and to have fun with but at most I've only kept them for a year so I wouldn't know how long lasting they might be. Their steering wheel keeps going and going and going for years.

new skool · Oct 5th, 2004, 12:10 PM

$500 for a momo gear knob!!, where are you guys shopping?.
