Is this so wrong? Since they apparently like to take pot shots at innocent Range Rovers, what is the best way to get back at them? I propose something French, like the Panhard Dyna Z.

All of the controls are close to unmarked, and all on a single pod. In addition, there is a battery master kill switch. Try finding that on a new Ford!

What other ways are there to confuse Not-Good valets?

Approved. Actually could we extend it to "Anything with a starting handle"?

But then you trap them inside, since no matter where you think the door release is, you're wrong.

Either way, approved for European use.

Owen-Magnetic: electric selector on the steering wheel.

GM Firebird III stick control

...or Firebird II flight yoke

Studebaker Weasel... okay, maybe that's a little too far.

But is this?

As a followup to this, Bricklin SV-1.

...with a remote battery disconnect, because electric gull-wing operation.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht 03/11/2014 at 16:39

Roughly. It's an Unimog with something like a six-speed main box, a low mode on the main box that only works in 1-2, a two-speed transfer case, and two-speed hubs or something.

I love Dyna Z. Early ones have aluminum body but Panhard changed to steel in phases after '56.

Standardized controls are pretty boring. I like cars that have their own way of seeing things. Now this is pretty much impossible due boring legislation.

An old Detroit Electric is pretty good example of alternative solution to controls. It had the main controls in the back seat but some models had second set of controls in the front seat too. The vehicle is controlled by two hand levers. One steers and one controls the speed. The model in the picture is '14 model with two sets of controls and half of the levers are in their folded up position.

The kids who tried to carjack me in East Palo Alto 25 years ago, couldn't figure out how to start my pushbutton transmission '64 Valiant before I came back with a pistol and scared them off.
