Dunno how you older folk do it, the car feels like it was made for teenagers that are about 5'8" and 140lbs. I'm not far from those measurements and cramped up in this car.

I'm 6'-1" and 225 lbs and will be 61 by the end of the year. German engineering ensures a comfortable fit. Did a 12 hr road trip to NC in the spring. No problems what so ever.

I need to find this adjustment, I spent a few minutes on my test drive looking for it with no luck. About didn't buy the car because I couldn't at least lower the seat to make everything more comfortable.

Dzl210 10-29-2014 02:03 PM

I retract everything I said, I found the adjustment. When I first pulled that lever, it moved the lever on the back...so I just assumed it was like a lot of cars and that was one of two ways to collapse the seat forward.

Found a how to, pulled the lever, pushed back, nothing. Pushed forward and came up, pushed back again and now it dropped.

Glad I didn't pass up buying the car now, it fits me almost perfect.

Telescoping / lowering the seat make the biggest diffrence

Glad you figured it out! It's amazing what you figure out on the forums... I have had many oh **************** so that's what that does moments :)

67

And at 6-3 my headrest is inside the rollbar and I need to get my rear end to the center side of the seat before bringing my head in and clutch actuation can be iffy and I'm worried about knee clearance when I install on board computer stalk.

I have a Garand, a Carbine, a Singer 03A3, and a M1 Thompson. That's just the WWII stuff.

All bayonetes and grenade launchers for each. Also load everything I shoot.

Garand is a gunstore find. Full spring kit, rebuilt the bolt myself. Then the same for the carbine. All three are 1942 vintage and run perfect. Love the USGI stuff. The Thompsons (M1 and 1927) are both new.

Garand is a Springfield, Carbine is a Quality Hardware, 03A3 is a Singer.
