Vertically Challenged

[dtmpower]

Not sure this whether this should be here on in General Gassing, but here goes at a 1/10 Wednesday morning rant:

If you are vertically challenged, rather than peer over the steering wheel and struggle to see where you're going try raising the seat height. It's a common feature on even the cheapest of modern cars.

Over the steering wheel? They must be towering giants round your way, here they look through it.

[PurpleMoonlight]

If you aren't peering over the steering wheel you are in the wrong seat surely?

[PoleDriver]

This may be useful!

It's not always those of diminutive stature though. Not so prevalent today, but there was a time when youths lowered the seating position so that they appeared to be sitting on the floor pan.
I think they were attempting to emulate BTCC cars of the time.

Who was that spotty 'erbert in GG a month or so ago, he had shaved a few mm off his seat to lower the CoG of his Saxo.

Not in my Caterham

The lower you sit - the better it gets.

I dont think it's to do with height.

Most youths i see round here unwrap themselves out of their stanced dubwk, but when you see them behind the wheel its like a clown car, i have no idea how someone can sit below the window line of an arosa or lupo but be of the 18 year old skinny lanky body type.
