太讚了吧？而家再冇棍波車係用呔波啦。同埋個波棍好經典囉。以前­的士都會改呢種的。

咁呢部車每年驗車會唔會有麻煩given this is a 柴油車？

@charsiubau1 多謝留言! 我舊年9月買呢架車返0黎, 今年8月驗車時叫熟悉車房幫我換大部份消耗品之後去驗, 完全冇問題。至於零件就少少難搵, 不過有問過原廠詢, 多數的機件如果需要換, 係可以訂貨, 不過需兩三個星期。幸好呢部車好耐用, 好少有0野整。

I have Toyota pickup here in UK with exactly same 5 speed manual column shift transmission . I also drive a company van , a Vauxhall Midi ( which is really rebadged Isuzu ) 2.4 diesel ( 1998 ) which has 5-speed column shift manual transmission . Column shift manual transmission is quite common here on Japanese vans and pickups and I believe it is still available as an option on many Japanese vans and pickups . I love it , I learned to drive on one of these on a Toyota pickup.

Very interesting vehicle. I am curious if the shift pattern on your Cedric is the same as a standard H pattern in any other manual gearbox vehicle only mounted on the steering column.

Is first gear all the way forward and up, and then 2nd gear all the way forward and down? Thank you for the video! :)

@K31TH3R Thanks. Yes, it's that sort of pattern, except that first gear is engaged by pulling the shifter towards the driver and up, and second gear towards the driver and down, while fifth gear is all the way out away from the driver and upwards.

At least one can still write comments.

I love that steering wheel cover.
