Calling all SRV8 drivers over 6'

[ian_uk1975]

Going to be driving a long way to look at an SRV8 and am growing a little concerned about the fact that I may not comfortably/safely fit into a standard SRV8 chassis. I'm 6'2" tall, 13.5 stone and wear size 11/12 shoes. Can anyone alay my concerns? So far, Clarkson has said I should be fine, but a few other people have said I could well have problems.

Cheers,
Ian.

Bugger, another nutter in the area.

No wonder they put so many cameras up round here.

Lol, yea, that's a sore point with me at the moment... got caught speeding for the first time a few days ago. Was running late for an appointment to view a house and got caught doing 37 in a 30 by a mobile camera van! Got the NIP through, so expect I'll get the standard SP60 of 3 points and a £60 fine

But are you sure you were driving though........... And you have a sudden case of amnesia. :P

I'm just gonna take it on the chin. Surprisingly, it doesn't affect my premium on the quotes I've been getting for Ferraris and Cobras

6' 2" and 13.5 stones?

You skinny ph*ker.

Don't even think about buying a cobra until you are at least 16 (or more) stone, then you will fit into it just fine like me and many others........

6'3" and 17.5 stones is about right IMHO. I am sure Tony M and Tinka will agree with me...........

Exactly the same thing happened to me last summer, pulling away from the lights too fast. But as I was doing less than 38 I was offered Speed School. OK I still had to pay the fine but I didn't get the points.

Check to see if the area you were caught in has the same scheme!

Yea, I'm hoping I might be offered that, but I'm expecting the worst. Thing is, I very rarely exceed the speed limit in built-up areas these days... it was only because I was in a hurry and just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time

Anyway, back on topic... any 6'+ SRV8 drivers out there?? (apart from Clarkson!)

Cheers,
Ian.
