Hi everyone,
I posted on the Spridgets forum a little while ago, asking if I'd squeeze into a Midget - I'm 6ft3 with very long legs....and it was recommended that I try an MGB instead...
So imagine my disappointment today when I went to test drive a BEAUTIFUL 1969 MGB and found it almost impossible to drive....my right leg bent in at an odd angle and the (original, very big) steering wheel locking against my thigh..
The dealer suggested a smaller steering wheel would solve the problem but I'm not so sure that will do the trick on it's own.
Should I just give up on this whole idea? Or are there some more radical fixes? Can the seats be lowered any further? Can the steering column be shortened? Any other bright ideas?! Really want one!
Thanks!
Jonathan
