Nobles and tall people...

[pride]

I'm 6'4 with long legs.

Regular Noble 2.5 felt something of a squeeze.

Especially aware that wearing a helmet on track days is looking very doubtful.

Are later incarnations such as the 3R better adapted to the needs of the lanky?

Has the factory any mods to the seat for example, to increase headroom?

Any examples of the tall and long legged finding a way to get comfortable?

[DanH]

Options in order of expense :

- Remove seat padding.
- Modify seat rails / Consider tilting seat backwards a tad.
- Buy an M400 where the driver is more central so has more head room.
- Cut off your head.

I'm 6'6 and have had the seat padding removed and made into a replaceable pad that velcros into place and comes out if I want to wear a helmet.

what the hell is this, the land of the giants?

My wife's 5'-3" and we had to get the seat moved forward to let her touch the pedals!.

Anyone know if Noble so seat padding to let her see over the steering wheel!

I can't get my wife to agree on having the rails done. She thinks the car is too fast for her. I disagree, can you offer any words of wisdom?

[JDH1]

I'm puzzled, why on earth would anybody be interested in finding out whether their wife can reach the pedals?

[m12_nathan]

No such thing as too fast, just accelerate less

To be fair she isn't that keen on driving it on the road due to worrying about speed bumps etc but loves driving it on track.

There is no way on Earth that I'm getting mine modded so Debbie can drive it! M.

[m12_nathan]

Scared she'll be quicker than you

[BrianJ]

Yes - factory will order up matching "booster cushions" toi allow wives to drive ...... true - we have them!

5'4 vs 6'6.

That must be awkward

I was never talking about the car

[kentviking]

talking of inuendo (or is it just my perverse interpretation) anyone not thought twice, or three time before putting those XXX NOB numberplates on?

[DanH]

Wouldn't be my first choice of plate lol Still, if you have a sense of humor about its reasonably funny.

When I first brought the car home ,my wife drove it for 200 yards ,stopped, looked at me dismissively whilst rubbing her palms together as if trying to remove a substance of unspeakable evil and said 'Right,that's the last time I'm driving that thing'and got out.Stayed true to her word ever since!
