About Gear Knobs
A gear knob is the handle on the end of the car's gear stick. For a manual gearbox a gear knob displays the shift pattern for gear selection. For an automatic gearbox a gear knob may include a release button and mode switch. A gear knob is generally located in the centre of the vehicle on the end of the gear stick, between the handbrake lever and centre console. A gear knob can become worn due to standard wear and tear, leaving the shift pattern image unreadable.
MINI trivia
- It might have been a tight fit, but 27 people can fit into a Mini. The Guinness Book of Records confirmed that 27 could fit into the classic model Mini, although 28 people managed to get into the BMW Mini in 2012. The 27-person record was performed by Dani and the Miniskirts during the London to Brighton Mini-Run.
- The Oxford MINI factory has made more than 3 million cars.
- Minis are still made in the same production site as the original line. The same site is still used in Oxford, although their car panels are now made in Swindon, and most of the engines made for Mini cars are manufactured by BMW in Hams Hall.
- It can be hard to keep track of all of the different companies that have owned MINI throughout its long history. At the moment, the name is owned by BMW, and MINI has its own independent division.
- Where you'd expect to see a radio or speaker system in a Mini, was actually an ashtray in early models. The designer of the first Mini was a heavy smoker who believed that listening to the radio was more of a distraction than lighting a cigarette.
