Any tall boxer owners?

[bigdom]

I'm after some advice. I sat in my first couple of boxers yesterday, 2006 examples, 2.7 & S models.

To be fair, I thought it would be more of a struggle getting in to it, certainly was when I owned a 944 many years ago. I managed to slide my 6'5" frame in with relative ease, head wasn't touching the roof, however the pedals do feel offset to the left. The two boots were a surprise, larger than I though they would be.

It will primarily be a weekend car, although the prospect of longer trips would be nice. I know it won't have the comfort level of the daily (7 series), although I'm assuming less back destroying than the bike, which will be moving to track duties only.

Any thoughts on ownership greatly received.

Boxers you say?

Well, I'm 6' 3" and find my large size Red Torpedo Crawfords fit me just fine.
Comfy in the gusset with a nice waistband


My Boxster on the other hand, can feel a touch too small.
(981 is a perfect fit though)

Indeed, sometimes I hate spellcheck

I am 6'1" and don't find any problem. I found that the extendable lead made all the difference.
Obedience training also helped. Great dogs, superb family pet.

On the car front , I had no problem fitting in the boxster.

No offence, your too short for this discussion.

Sport seats dont go as far back as standard.
rhetorice used be a chap on here Simon who used to come to the London Meets,6,4 I believe and was fine though he was slim not sure how it would be if you 6,4 squared;)

Thanks, unfortunately in true PH style, I'm director build.

I'm 6'5 and fit in ok. Check out Brey Krause seat rail if you want more space.

IMO and not particularly scientific but I've found sports seats don't give you quite as much space as regular seats.

Thanks, I have a look at that.
