Friend of mine admits to being 18st, so I presume he is more. Dont think he is quite 6ft.
I dont let him drive my S2 but he has been a passenger a number of times.
Yes he struggles and complains getting in and out (more so) but seems ok once installed. If you own one, you develop a nack of getting in and out that suits you.
There is a definite lack of shoulder room when he is sat alongside, and I assume performance suffers a little.
Size doesn’t matter. Once you are in it is very comfortable, (I’m 5ft 11 ins and somewhere near 16 stones) One of the finest pedalers of an S1 I have ever seen, Graham, is a large man and he fits the car like a glove as these picturs show.
Yup agree with Mike, Graham was always entertaining to watch - I once saw him at Brands go around the outside of everyone at Druids get pushed onto the grass on the outside and keep his foot in whilst on the grass pretty much all the way down the hill to Graham Hill Bend to hold position.
My mate Taperell managed to get into the car and he is not exactly diminutive he would have only been able to run the car in a drag race tho because he was not able to turn the wheel.
Not a problem. I’m 6’4" and a touch heavy, well, more than a touch.
Drivers side is a piece of piss to get in and out of, passenger side is embarrassing. I went out in a mates MG Midget the other night and that was a lot harder to get in and out of than the Exige.
My car has a removeable steering wheel and shortened gear lever, although I actually find it easier to get in and out with the wheel in place but it does space it closer to the driver which helps with leg room.
Ive had a trip down to JCT 600 at leeds and i managed to get into an elise no problem, actually quite comfortable when i was in, getting out was a bit of a task but nothinbg a bit of practice wont sort.
Cough, no, but a member of Nyloc (a not to be missed monthly gathering of Loti/enthusiasts!). Up to a 100 Loti (ranging from original Elites/Sevens to the latest models), & a fantastic bunch of people to share banter etc
