Hi there, just been browsing the internet for 10" steering wheels and having found one, I was just wondering whether any other people on here have them and what they think of them with regards to obviously steering your car and feel...

Feel free to post up what you have...

iv got one:D mine is alright to steer now ( did nearly crash due to it when first got it) but now am use to it. i have only got the standard small wheels though.

i think you should get one thay make the indie of your mini look interesting with a tiny steering wheel

they look just as good but they are much easier to use

I would guess some insurance companies may have a problem with such a small steering wheel being fitted in the event of an accident due to loss of control?
(I had one on my Mini in the 1970's...................agree can look good but a nightmare in some driving situations.)

I put one on mine, drove it out the drive round the block...then took it off! Didn't like it as it made it a fair bit of effort when doing slow manouvers, eg round town and parking.

i have one and i absolutely love it.. bit of a pain to start with but you get used to it and i have not had any probs :D

Although saying that my brother had one and couldnt make a corner in time... lets just say trees are stronger than mini's :lol:

Just be careful to start with and get used to turning with ur palm of your hand
