You know summing the driving position isnt that bad and the seat is quite ajustable, neither is the clucth that bad just takes some getting use to.
It took me 2 hours if that and if a old dog like me can master it so can anyone

very true bit if you don't live a little you'll always look back and wish you had owned something a little bit speical/iconic.

aye, might try and blag another longer drive in one, the one i drove was a fairly tired phase 1 172 though so that may have put me off a little as i hear the new ones are better.

I'm taller than Fad, so is broster (he's taller than me) I drove his car the other day and found the driving position quite good. The gearstick is a bit high though, but I'm used to one which is mounted right on the floor, not 6" above it.
I had to move the seat forward
Wasn't quite as quick as I was expecting, but it handled VERY well.

im 6'2" and iv managed to get the seat 100% spot on, cant see what people moan about to be honest. the clutch on some is better than others. drove a 182 fat boy today and it was better than my 172cup clutch..... byut then again mines had some abuse.
awesome cars! comming to the northants meet on sunday with it fad?

any subtile mods in the pipeline?
Thinking
ITG Maxogen intake
polished and ported inlet
remap
full stainless Exhaust
and some H&R Coilovers set up by Mark Fish that should plenty enough for some fun up Brands Hatch
But for moment it will stay stadnard (already lowered) for a bit as its a great bit of kit out of the box
Go to either Hill Power or BB Tuning.. Top guys!
