Mike dB Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Hello, Does anyone live near the Southport area who wouldn't mind taking me for a spin in their Westfield? If not when is the next NW meet so that I could perhaps come along to see what they're like. I'm looking at getting one in the near future as a weekend & track car (halves with my Dad) & just wondered if I'd fit into one. I'm 6' 2" (ish) & not too fat! Thx Mike dB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananaman Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Mike you can come & sit in mine if you want, but it's not going anywhere at the moment as the thrust bearing has gone. If you just want to check for size send me a post. andy Cars near Warrington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Mike i am 6.2 and 13s 10 and fit into mine ok with a bit to spare but i don't think you will fit into anything other than a wide bodied car as the standard bodied was tight for me too tight in fact,and as for the pre lit smaller again.

Mike dB Posted October 11, 2002 Author Share Posted October 11, 2002 Hello Neo, Thanks for the reply. Flippen 'eck! Wide Bodies are a bit more expensive than a pre-lit/standard car too it would seem? When where the wide bodies available as a kit does anyone know? I assume they are 'post-lit'? thx Mike dB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott beeland Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 You can come and see/ try mine in Prescot if you like. Indisposed 'till after next week though. Sei wide. You will need a wide and they're so much more comfy (and I'm not that big....) No jokes please!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike dB Posted October 11, 2002 Author Share Posted October 11, 2002 Excellent, I've got 2 Westies to have fittings in now, I feel like an F1 driver!! Ok then, just let me know when you'd like me to come over & 'ave a go. You Westie owners are gr8!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Navin Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Mike I'm also 6'2" and am not blessed with the slightest build. I fit in the narrow bodied cars but the secret is to get a nice thin seat made for them. Playscool do one that works very well. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midds Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 I am 6'6" and big build - think massive rugby player - and I fit into my Megabusa no problem! Midds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike dB Posted October 14, 2002 Author Share Posted October 14, 2002 Hello, I now think I've got enough cars to go & sit in!! I'll be going to see Bananaman & Scott some time soon. Those of you who did reply, thank you very much for the offers!! Although a spin out in a newly finished one sounds v. tempting!!!

Mike dB Posted October 15, 2002 Author Share Posted October 15, 2002 Hello, I've just been out in Scott's car & all I can say is WOW! Has anyone got a wide body laying round spare that I can have NOW!? Under £5k would be good & the '92/'93 model with disc brakes at the rear?
