Well done, Rudy!
I have noticed that the Avon screen does seem a little short top to bottom, so I'm not surprised you have a problem.
Another thing - are the rules different in Italy? In UK you have to get the number plates before you test drive on the roads... at least, we
are supposed to! ![](/images//smilies/bigsmile.gif)

To say the truth , to let my wife to drive the car too, I put a seat runners and this rises the seat by 30mm, however even without it I had problem
with windscreen, so I will need to make a taller windscreen.
Hey Jp, yes you sey the truth about first time on everything

I can't see how the screen can possibly be to high for you?

I would have thought you would need a booster cushion ![](/images//smilies/tongue.gif) ![](/images//smilies/tongue.gif) ![](/images//smilies/tongue.gif) ![](/images//smilies/tongue.gif)
Serriously though - well done , wish mine was nearer completion

He is thinking he will need to make a connector to interface his "disney" computer to ours car to let the car go faster, you have to know
he like "work" and "study" on the car with me.
