Guest TomLayz88 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hey Guys, further to my post about becoming an owner, I think when ive started my new job I will do exactly that. Question, Im 6 ft 5.... and since ive yet to drive one im wandering if i will fit lol. things like adjustable seat and steering are basically what im after. Also, If anyone on here works in london or the south east and wants to give me a job! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Ian C, one of our most respected mods on here is 6ft7, and he fits nicely. Allegedly. Mike is around your height too. I'm sure it'll be fine, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyP Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Is the roof higher in a hard top than an aerotop? I'm 6'1" and my hair brushes the headlining. Either that or these tall people are lying down:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 At least with an aerotop's roof, you can raise it up on stilts, just to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 6'7" here, fit fine, As in any car you can't sit bolt upright pushed up against the wheel. lay back and enjoy. I've also got degenerative disc disease. After a 400mile trip I get out feeling fine with no backache. I've had a lot of other cars and unless they were landrovers/mitsi 4x4 etc, I've had back ache after 100miles best thing is to ask a local owner to let you sit in and try Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 There is always the option of fitting aftermarket sport seats, these usually will get you even lower than the std sets;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Is the roof higher in a hard top than an aerotop? I'm 6'1" and my hair brushes the headlining.

Robzki Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 There must be an opening for another team here Team Lanky? Team Tall? Team Hightower? Team Crouch Or Team Freak, I prefer this one as it encompasses the whole club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Suprastar2009 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 lol, ive always wondered why its socially acceptable to be able to take the piss out of someone tall and skinny but if you call someone short and fat, then you may aswell have gone to there house at christmas and shit on the turkey! :D;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarely see a viscious big dog, they're usually big softies. Small dogs on the other hand..... I'm not sure on the short fat issue as I haven't been either since I was 3yrs old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) i like the team high tower idea http://www.411mania.com/siteimages/hightower_37651.jpg im 6"3 and its by far the most comfortable car ive even driven. my legnum is a close 2nd but i get backache in that quite quickly and the supras deckchair driving position is far superior Edited September 24, 2010 by Guigsy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
