having discovered that i dont fit in a TVR! i am now looking at getting a daily use car (passat/mondeo) and a westie for fun!

no worries about head room if theres no roof! and it seems leg room is ok in a widebody...BUT! if my head is over the rollbar (or level with it) does that mean instant death if it rolls over!!!! cause thats not a good thing! in fact what happens if any soft top rolls? is there not a huge danger of getting squished?

any thoughts from those who like their heads as they are!

T

ps- am i right in thinking that theres more leg room in bike engined cars due to the smaller engine? or are al westie (wide) footwells the same?
