Mark B Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 Graham, All i can say is, if you can get in/ out and drive a standard bodied westy you deserve a medal, or did you amputate something? Andy, Got your message mate, thanks i will ring you in a bit or first thing tomorrow. Noel, You're lucky mate believe me, I had to learn to drive and pass my test in my slippers because otherwise my feet got stuck under the dash on the learner car, imagine the looks from the examiner! Cheers, Mark. p.s sorry for not replying sooner, been on a course for two days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there are good points of being a lanky, stick-legged 17 year old It's a bit of a tight fit and I'm yet to really put it to the test but it's not too bad.

Chris Elworthy Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Sorry I joined the thread so late. I'm 6'4" , size 13s AND 19 Stone (I'm not fat...I'm big boned - actually I've got to lose 2 stone just to get to Fat) Having bolted the thinnest seat possible directly to the floor, and with the top mounted pedals pushed as far back as they will go I find it extremely comfortable. Best improvement of all though is to invest in some race boots, 'cos they take up no room whatsoever, and with the rounded heel leave your feet resting lower in the footwell.

Mark B Posted March 31, 2003 Author Share Posted March 31, 2003 Extremely pleased to find that with a few minor mods I can fit quite comfortably in a wide bodied car. Big thanks to Andy (aka Bananaman) for meeting me on his way home & allowing me to try his car. Race boots are a deffo, but with these and moving the steering wheel toward me I should be ok, Andy's car also had the pedal box moved an inch & no inside panels which helps with leg/ footroom. In a few months time I shall be seriously looking out for a wide bodied zetec engined car, just need to unfortunately sell the cosworth to free up garage space and more funds. Cheers, Mark.
