Size does matter

[Gliderman8]

So my son is home visiting and I asked him if he wants to drive my TR6. He really is NOT into cars, but to appease the old man he said he would give it a try.
He worms his way into the drivers seat like a contortionist, and once into the seat he can't even move his legs as they are up against the steering wheel.
My son is 6' 1" and I am 5' 3"... so size does matter.
Note to don.... watch what you say

Hey Elliott, My wife doesn't believe that saying....but she always has her fingers crossed when she says so.

Sounds like when I sat in a MG TC lately (I'm 6'1"). Wedged in. Only some LBCs that I fit in. All of the TRs are tight.

Get him a Bugeye -- lots of room.

Hey, the seats are adjustable, you know..... ;-)

Seat was all the way back.

He'll fit fine in a Wedge.

What, was he adopted.
No wonder you played soccer, you were to short for anything else.

I've seen a lot of big guys try to fit into the glider but could make it.
I used to tell my buds in college that you can make fun all you want about my height, but if we end up in Nam, the bullets will be over my head

We're you not to short for service?

 

[Gliderman8]

Not at all... draft ended 3 weeks prior to graduation... I was lucky!

Hmmmmm... I'm 6'1" and fit in TR2-6s just fine. MGAs are tight at the pedals, as are T series MGs, but about the only British cars I really don't fit in are the newer Midgets and Morgans.
