Why not? It is something that gives a lot of the character the car has, and a lot of the driving impressions since you're using it all of the time...and it also have a lot to do with how good the interior is looking...well, I thought that I may see some interesting stuff here... So here's mine (maybe not very interesting but...):  The Merc: Leather wrapped W124 wheel, may be out of an early sportline model since it is quite much smaller than the original W123 steering wheel was...  Running this in the Volvo... Grant walnut steering wheel... Will make a custom made center for it though. |

The airbag wheel in my late Jaguar XJ40 lets things down a bit since it is horrible! Lots of people put the Momo wheel in from the XJR version but that means losing the airbag safety feature which is why I haven't done it...  David |

 Incredible but true: I actually managed to trap my arm in this despite only one spoke! I reached through it while turning to grab sunglasses, and turned the wheel back with my arm still there. Muppet! ;D |

 No idea if it has a brand or where it might have originated. Its a bit on the large side, but it was cheap. That's a fruit machine button for the horn push. |

 Not a great pic, sorry. I'm thinking I need a wheel with a deeper dish to get a better driving position. I already have a boss, so I just need to pick a wheel. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see what is out there that might suit... |
