Viento near Basingstoke
Hi there,
Thinking of buying a Viento but it's very far away but I'm very tall and a bit podgy (6'6" and 18st). Would anyone near(ish)
Basingstoke let me have sit in their theirs to try it for size?
Happy to buy you a beer for your troubles, saves me a long trip up North.
Cheers
Neil

Are you talking about the v6 on eBay at the moment? It's a lot of car for the money. Not kit car is big like a viento. I'm 6ft and I
move the seat forward. Your more than welcome to sit in mine but I'm in Lincoln.

Well I've got a Viento and my sister works in basingstoke! Does that count?! On a more serious note I'm 6ft 1 and quite broad and I would
say you'd be absoloutley fine, mine is still in (slow) progress but I have a seat fitted in pretty much the right place for me and there's
still probably 4 inches plus behind the seat and its quite a bulky bucket seat roughly fitted at the minute so would have thought you would be ok.

Yep. that's the one Irony.
Thanks for all the advice, still can't bring myself to buy without sitting in it though. Back to the drawing board...

I reckon with a bit of work that viento could be a real head turner. At that price you won't loose money. I am still along way from you and I
cannot believe I am the closest owner. If I am you could always pop in on your way past.

Thanks for the offer but I think it's a no-goer. Just too far away

Your more than welcome to try mine for size but I'm not all that much closer than lincoln but I'm mid suffolk. If that's any help
just let me know.
