Welcome Steve,I am 6ft 2in and quite frankly a fat ba5tard and get in no problem so possibly nothing to worry about and as Frankie says there are taller forum members and I have driven Spuds car no problem ( He's 6ft 7in).

Have fun.

Oh those skinny Trition ones.....
They don't fit me at all.
You need to be miniscule, not normal size like me.

Beleive me if I fit anyone can....
And I don't have the runners all the way back
