Pedals!

We've done keys, cars, steering wheels and seats, but I can't recall ever seeing a 'Post Your Pedals!' on Oppo. Now, with some consideration, I've realised that the most likely reason for this is that pedals are generally one of the less-interesting looking bits of a car—but, nonetheless, I had this picture rattling around, so a pedal post it shall be! (For reference, my feet are UK size 9/European size 42/US size 10.)

I tried to find a good one of a Series Rover, but the pictures are mostly RHD...

This does highlight something, though. The gas pedal on RHD ones is at the other end of a long rod, but for LHD ones, the rod is really short and has to line up perfectly - and never, ever gets lined back up right after you repair the footwells. One of the biggest PITA things putting one of these together.

I don't have any pictures of my pedals, unfortunately. But that's okay because what I have to offer is much more interesting than the pedals from the 2002. These lovelies are out of a 1929 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS, which I had the joy of driving around a parking lot for all of 60 seconds.

Also, nice shoes!

Saw this post just as I was getting in my car to grab lunch, so I snapped this. Pardon the random bits of dirt and dry grass, lol. I need to vacuum. And yes, I drive a slush box. #NotAshamed ^_^

Installed a bigger gas pedal for easier heel toe.

I can play, oh boy can I play

my doner car for manual swap came with blue neon glow!

following the auto to manual swap but before swapping in the new pedal box I had an automatic style brake pedal cut in half to fit the clutch pedal in

a lesson on never attempting to heel toe in flip flops

transforming my rather mundane pedals with ebay "mugen" pedals

which oppo rightly noted looked like tv remote controls

and an accidental selfie I found on my phone, I believe taken whilst I thought I was playing games on my phone waiting for the wife to come out of a store
