wouldn't it be nice...............

I found a plan for one looking around on the net, am going to make it from cardboard tonight and try it out in my mates mini,

its not a very good looking one but may ba a good starting point.

I quite like the ones that can be bought from mini shops in the uk though... dads going over in a month......

will add ..only problem is most consoles are very close to the cutch pedal so this will be one thing you will have to consider...
i only had problems when i wore large boots etc...
this console came trimmed in my choice of materail and diddnt have the gear boot etc cut.
i got the gear leaver suround from autobarn but the same thing can be brought from supercheap.
