found this guy on ebay, seems he makes manual gearshifts for cars. each one is unique and can contain anything you want. thought it may be of interest to some people on here. paticular shifter in this ad is a melbourne bitter one....

That's pretty neat, if you were skilled with epoxy you could make your own in a pinch. Although for 80 bucks it's not really worth messing around with.
