too tall to drive!!

[big_man]

i'm 18 and have been driving for the last 18 months and have recently been making longer trips in the car and after about 30mins i start to get uncomfortable. i'm 6'6" and i'm driving a new style corsa(mum's) with the seat as far back and as low as it can go.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Ummmmm - get a bigger car??

Either that or invest in a new seat. Either way will be expensive......

What exactly gets uncomfortable??

no point in gettin new car just now cos i'm just away to start uni in october and won't be home to use the car.

its my legs that get sore because i cant stretch them out enough, mainly my right leg.

Press your right foot to the floor. You'll find that gives you a bit more room.

It might have exhilarating side effects too!

Sorry Pete!!

In that case all you can do really is try and relocate the seat.... if you've got a welder, a drill and a bit of patience you should be ok.....

Buy tin opener?

Get a car with a sun roof?

I'm 6' 5" and understand the problem. There is good news however, I can vouch for the Cerbera having plenty of leg room.

In the meantime, remove the front seats from your Corsa and sit at the back.

Buy an old mini, remove front seats and sit on the back bench seat instead.

I dont think many people on this forum have any problem exercising their right roof if you know what I mean

But seriously the larger the car more leg room there seems to be.

Get a car WITHOUT a sunroof.

My dream machine arrived three months ago with a sun roof (standard UK spec), and then 2 days before a trackday I discoved I can't fit in the car wearing a bloody helmet!!!
