Yeah, it's got two black spokes too.
Looks like an early model Calais steering wheel!!
One visible spoke looks s..t!
One straight across spoke looks s..t!
Three spokes look....um.....bodgy!
Four spokes, er, same!
Five spokes.....classic!
Multiple spokes.....look like wagonwheels for mine but suit later model cars, say, post 1980!
Cheers

Different manufacturers mount them differently.

Had to laugh at a girl at work telling me the other day her old auto VN 5.0 Executive had a factory " freak " engine in it. It was completely stock apparently, and was one of the few secret ( I'm calling them " mythical " ) near 300kw engines that were experimented on and slipped out quietly in the VN range -- for giggles I imagine.

The best part. It ran an 11sec 1/4 mile.

You know what this car is missing... wood. Wood in the doors, on the bonnet. Yep, add some wood in there. Make it look like a cheap 70's home reno where everything was fluffy carpets and fake wood laminate.

Woodgrain works for the German boys on the inside, we'll beat 'em to the punch and put it OUTSIDE too!
