Hi

I am seriously thinking about swapping my Quantum Xtreme for a v8 Viento.

One thing that is stopping me is not knowing if it will fit down my shared driveway.

Is anyone with a viento near enough to KT3 3EB who would be willing to pay me a visit to test out the theory?

I have been told the width of a viento and will be measuring the gap, but thought I would put the feelers out.

cheers

Chris

I am not near your postcode but I am curious why you are thinking of changing over to a Viento? I am currently building a Viento and I have to admit it's really really wide and low when looking from the rear. I triple checked my driveway 'just in case'.

hi -- I have a v8 in the garage.. didn't fit in the Xtreme, I have second child on the way so looking for a quick way to get a v8 powered 7.. I would be buying a already built one.

cheers

does the viento use the standard sierra rear end?

Yes but has very wide arches to accept 9" wide wheels and very wide tyres

so I have been given the width as 185cm.. I have measured the gap between the houses and It might just fit.. my Q is 170 wide and it is a tight drive through, but there is is space.

so please, back to the original question, anyone near enough to KT3 3EB to pay me a visit?

cheers

Chris

sorry - scrap the request - I have just remeasured taking into account some gates which are on their way - and there is no chance it would make it through. sticking with the Q is what will be happening - best get on with shoehorning a v8 into that instead

thanks to anyone considering the drive over, but not needed.
