:woohoo: Someone as short as me :roll:

I've gotta have the seat fully forward, and I'm still only just higher than the steering wheel so people take the piss :cry:

How come only one leg? 8O

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?

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" :D . Actually I don't because then I wouldn't fit in my E30 with a helmet on.

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 off :D .

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.
How do you think i feel, 5ft 7 so no head room probs even in a mini. :D
Im with zaust... 5'7 (ish) so no probs, they do say the best things come in little packages :wink:
