any vientos near wimbledon sw london?
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'.

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

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.
