no not that kind - I have been thinking of doing a Caterham Day but having had more than a passing interest in pies of late was interested to know whether any of our better upholstered PH's have managed to squeeze in - I did a search and got posts on windscreen issues for the taller driver but nothing on girth - I appreciate if I spec'ed one up I'd have greater latitude but what about the steeds commonly available on Caterham Days ?

Exactly how fat are you??

I belive Caterham use an SV on some of the Motorsport days Merrick organises.

If they have an SV there you should have no problems unless you have shares in Frey Bentos.

SV will fit up to 6ft. 9in and probably 20+ stone.

There was an SV at the last Caterham day.

I am about 6' tall and weigh approx 12-13 stone (probably).

My brother is 6'2 and as skinny as a rake. It was him that could see over the windscreen.

BTW: flying trotter, YHM

My mate who came with me to the Caterham day at Silverstone on Sunday, is about 5'11" and a good 18 1/2 stone. He is a bit of a gym boy, think more Geoff Capes style, than Arnie. 54 inch chest, 38 waist with I believe an 18 1/2 inch collar. I was out shopping with him on the Saturday before, he tried on a XXL Versace jumper, which he couldn't fit into. That gives you an idea of his size...

He had no problems fitting in any of the Caterhams on Sunday, as this was a concern of his!
