Think my car has shrunk

[Skyedriver]

Drove my old Caterham up and down the path today.
Last drove it around 2002, (bought it back 14 months ago).
It seems so much more snug in the cockpit and more worryingly I cannot work the accelerator without pressing the brake......

How does one put this politely; has Sir remained the same size since 2002?

My car shrunk after Xmas, quite common with Caterham's.

My racesuit seems to shrink every year I retrieve it from the wardrobe....

That seems to be a common problem with race suits,
My boots are much better made than my suit, they have fitted for years😉

To be honest, no I used to be 5' 11" but now only 5'10".

However waist size has increased from 32 to 34. My main appendage tends to be static at an inch and three wrinkles.

It's my feet that seem to have got bigger.

What shoes are you using?

I had to buy a pair of Puma Speedcats to order to not press the brake and throttle at the same time. I can't drive the car in normal shoes at all.

Quite a few people seem to praise them on the GG Shoes thread, will give them a look, ta.

I took up cycling to make sure my car fits me , really enjoyed it still going over a year later and lost 2 stone in the process I can recommend it , now none of my clothes fit me gone from 36 waist to 32.
