Cars for REALLY tall people

[Lefty]

I don't mean people that are 6'6" or suchlike, I mean, really, really, really tall people...

I saw a fella in my office today who must have been over 7' tall.

I'm 6'4" and can generally get comfortable in most cars, normally with the seat as far back as it goes. If I was much taller though, I think I'd struggle.

Are there any giants here? What car do you drive?

Got cousin who is 7ft 3" and he doesn't drive car. I think it is impossible for him to drive one anyway.

I'm only 6 ft and slim and I still couldn't squeeze into an S2000. My mate is also 6ft 4 and he managed to drive around an A series mini. Mind, he did spend most of the time staring at the floor rather than out the windscreen but it didn't stop him.

I've got a friend who's 6' 8", when I first met him he drove a Rover Metro. It was possible for him to drive from the back seat, allegedly.

[so called]

Peter Wheeler was about 6'7" and used to design his TVR's so he fit in them
If you own the company..........
Not sure how much bigger works though.

No problem

I'm 6'8" or thereabouts.

I struggle in "interesting" cars, and have had to dump a number of good ideas in the past.

I fit reasonably well in boring stuff though. I'm kind of at the upper limit of what is OK I think.

Check out DVSDave on this thread.
Oh and stand corrected on Peter Wheeler at only 6'4".

I think they have to choose between a bentley or a berlingo.

I'm 6'5" and the only three cars i've driven where the seat isn't on or very close to the back stops are the Bentley Conti GT, Full Fat Range Rover and Caterham SV (believe it or not)

A good friend of mine is 6'9'' He has driven Fords mostly due to the family ticket. Now has a Fusion! you would think it was on Motability but he's paying for it.

PHer dvs_dave is 9'18" or something ridiculous. And drives a TVR.

I'm 6' 6" and I found my Integra DC2 a good fit I'm trying to think of what car a guy I used to play basketball with [7'+] used to drive...it wasn't interesting I know that! I'd looooooooooove an S2000 someday but after sitting in one, I realised that might not happen [it was tiiiiiiiiight] - hopefully a change of the seat rails/lower the seat might help if that's possible???

[missing the VR6]

Skoda Superb would sit a seven footer in the front and one in the rear seat behind.

[otolith]

Pah. They just aren't determined enough.
