I have the Alloy Retro one from that list - I like it, looks cool, and is a good shape to hold.

I promised myself the gear knob would be the very last thing I'd put on my Mini when it was "Finished".

The way things are progressing I might be asking the nurse at the old folks home to put it on for me...

Do people find metal gear knobs really cold in winter?

Put a sock or a glove over it overnight

My car is kept warm tucked up in the garage, and we dont have snow, ice etc so it is never that cold. I did notice it hot today - day was about 23c and the car had been closed in the sun for 4 hours.

In regards to the heat... In my mates old Peugeot he had an alloy gear knob but also had a small cover that went on (not sure if someone made it for him)

I made myself an ally dice about 2" square. It is cold but i don't know about you i don't have my hand on it for very long during a shift. I find it soon heats up with the heater going.
