I also mentioned that I think that it could simply be that someone cut the original steering wheel to remove a steering lock bar. A 'Wheel Bat' as they are know locally. Really - it could also easily be that some nervous driver with a lot of rings and hand cream had the wheel in locked 10/2 o'clock death grip for the past 7 years. You just never know. Still, however it came to be - I think it would be worth making sure that the bag is intact and set-up properly at this point given that I can't remember ever wearing out a wheel on any of my SAAB's over the years. They just tend to get more shiny with age. I won't bother to ask how the BMW is working out - I'll bet it is running flawlessly, save that some of the interior plastic is looking a little dusty.. :/ ..
