Joe, my English isn't good enough to tell if you're joking or being serious. Anyway, the car isn't mine; mine is the Shelby. The yoke belongs to a client who had this crazy idea, and we rarely say no.

Well, here’s a crazy idea if you can take it: how about converting the gauge display into a flip down HUD? Flip the screen down, and you have a HUD reflected nice and clearly on your windshield!

Looks cool, but good luck if the car gets sideways and he needs to correct it

I loved the idea but i think that is almost impossible to make, and would be very expensive from what i heard, for now i will not think on that , but who knows in some months ... Would be very cool indeed

I learned to drive using the 'hand-over-hand' motion, and still do drive that way. Your yoke appears to be comfortable when driving longer distances fairly straight. How do you find it when driving in multiple turn situations?
I learned that and also the 2 and 10 position, which apparently is not the right way anymore because of airbags, you're supposed to have hands at 9 and 3

You need a special windshield for projection. That doesn’t work properly on the normal windshield.

Yeah, I’ve seen those add on ones that you stick a film onto the glass, or there will be a piece of plastic that juts out of the projection system to achieve a similar effect. Something like that could be doable, though like you said, prolly not as pretty as projecting onto the glass itself like oems would do it.

Nooooo, don’t you start this again! The forum has barely recovered from this discussion earlier.

Joke aside, not for me but I can see the appeal for others. Also cool to see some custom made solutions to our ponies :)

I've always wanted to try a yoke steering wheel, but to me I don't think they make much sense if its not steer-by-wire.
