I'm too big!
Hi guys,
So i was out for a drive tonight in my rep-mobile and met Jamie (jpindy on here) and his mk indy.
We had a chat about the cars and he was kind enough to let me have a seat in his, oh dear though, looks like the pies and fertilizer have caught up
with me!
Was a very tight fit just to get sat in the car, and once in there wasn't anywhere for my legs to go, certainly not on the pedals, or if they
went on the pedals they weren;t going to come back off!
Oh yeh, i'm 6'3" and about 13.5 stone.
He said his seat could probably go back about 6 inches or so, do you think this would do the job or am i just gonna need a widebody? It was the lack
of width that concerned me a little, i personally do like a tight fit (no comments!) but obviously would like to be able to operate pedals once
i'm in!
Cheers,
Andy

That's quite impressive!

just wearing jeans and tshirt.
Maybe the width seemed small as my legs were trying to bend in ways they shouldn't bend.... ok so mabe if there was just a bit more legroom
then it'd all be fine.

Do you have an MK? If not sounds like im a bit heavier than you but shorter and there is masses of room in the MNR and i know some tall chaps over
6' get in. Maybe seat choice could also be playing a part

You will definitely fit fine, I'm 6'4" and 16 stone and i fit very comfortably in my Indy. I also have the Cobra Roadster 7 padded
seats which take up more room.

Wouldn't have thought width was a problem, 13.5 stone at 6"4 is not exactly lardy is it, when your like me at 5"11 and nearly 18
stone, that's lardy and getting your arse jammed in the seat size

You should fit no problem. Probably just need to move the seat back.
I am 5'10" and I have to have my seats right forward to depress the clutch. And at 14 stone I ain't skinny either.

It'll be the fibreglass seats that make it feel small. I thought exactly the same when I first sat in an Indy. I then tried a car with Cobra
Roadster seats [which is what I have in mine] and it felt fine.
