Someone as short as me 
I've gotta have the seat fully forward, and I'm still only just higher than the steering wheel so people take the piss
How come only one leg?
Your height?

About 6 ft but short in the leg & long in the body. And er, broad too.
I find my Touring has a better day to day driving position than my 635 which has 'leccy seats.
Touring seemed dimensionally challenged after an E34 & Audi A6 but I'm used to it now & it's fine. More space is just wasted.

Which ones? I have a size 11US (about 10 1/2 UK I think?) in the Puma ones and at the time I tried a 12US but it was a fraction too big (I needed a 11.5 but just got the 11). I thought that there was bigger than that though?davetouring wrote:I can't get those shoes cos I'm a 12.
I have the same size in the Adidas ones too, but for some reason they are a bit bigger. I also thought that there were bigger sizes than what I got?
A pity if you can't get them because they are nice shoes for driving, especially the Adidas.
TO ALL THE PEOPLE LESS THAN 6' : Sorry but I think about my height (about 6' 1") seems to be the average today. Everytime I go out now it always seems that at least half the people I see are taller than me, some by a lot. I actually just feel average, and sometimes I feel a bit small. Funny because when I was a child (now I'm just childish) I thought "I hope I am 6' tall when I grow up, I would tower over everyone". Now I am that height and I'm just average, I wish I was 6' 5"
. Actually I don't because then I wouldn't fit in my E30 with a helmet on.Aston

iam happy with beeing a short arse
5,7 and
i have the weight advantage of beeing 10 ,4 stone
so i got room for the crash helmet and i weigh less
most of my friends are 6 + so iam used to beeing shorter
infact
if my friends are same size or smaller it feels odd!
but i fit well in the bmw though i have found the 4 door a lil tighter than the 2 door !

I just used a weight converter to convert my 67kg to stone and it said 10.55 stone so I mightn't be far offpsychochild187 wrote:iam happy with beeing a short arse

Well, I like wil6pot are on the other end of the scale at a mere 5 foot 8.
I can get a variety of excellent driving positions depending on my mood.
