    I know these pants are not my finest ones, but they are so comfy and usually the viewer, you đŸ„° does not see them since they are well hidden. 😜
    If you read this and don't live too far away, I can take you on a ride with Rudi and me and we could get a kastanienherz [some delicious autumn pastry]. đŸ˜Šâ€ïžđŸŒ°

    You gave such a clear and wonderful demonstration and explanation. Great closeups of the accelerator and braking setups. This is very valuable! I like that the accelerator ring and the braking post are well separated so there is no confusion or grabbing the wrong control when a sudden unexpected event happens on the road. You gave a delightful presentation, and I am encouraged to find something like this for my wheelchair van.

    Great video! I have neuropathy and have lost the feeling in my feet so I am getting hand controls soon. I really like how yours are set up with the accelerator on the steering wheel.

      I am sorry to hear that you have lost the feeling in your feet but I am happy that there is a solution to driving 😊
      I also like it a lot and I think it is very comfortable, but I also never tried anything else 😁

      Not having to rely on anyone is such a good feeling! Just make sure you are allowed to drive with hand controls 😉 in most European countries, for example, you have to get a special driving license. All the best to you! đŸ€—

    Why dont you have to continually press the acceleration? Is it like when youre driving slow with foot pedals and you arent pressing the gas pedal? Or does it stay at whatever speed you put it at, like cruise control?

    • @smilisa.
      @smilisa.  Pƙed 2 měsĂ­ci

      I only press the acceleration when I want to accelerate. If I am for example on the highway, I do continually press it. When I press the accelerator, there is a button that allows me to continue driving at that speed without constantly pressing the accelerator, but I rarely use it. I prefer to be in control 😉

      Thanks! 😊 I don’t think so. You probably have to find a mechanic who is able to modify your car like this. Unfortunately, I am not sure how you can get it in Kuwait.

    Hi from Croatia! I have the same GuidoSimplex controls in my Peugeot 407 SW. Both car and controls are 18 years old. I am buying new Peugeot 308 SW and I want to install the same controls. New one ofcourse. I was just worried about buttons on the steering wheel of new Peugeot. From your video I can say it will be fine because you also have buttons. What model of Peugeot is this?

    • @smilisa.
      @smilisa.  Pƙed rokem +1

      Hey 😊 this is the smallest model, the 108. I do have buttons on both sides of the steering wheel and they are very easily accessible đŸ€—

      Thank you, MegaMarlboro666, for naming the brand name of the controls. I was wondering what they were. I will look up the brand and see if they are available to me in the USA.
