    Re: LWB/

    Sorry just realised I didnt explain tha very well.I bought my roadster which was advertised as a long wheel base.I love it but find I am short of leg room especially on the clutch leg and find I am driving with my foot resting on the pedal.I now think its a short wheel base. I would like to sit in a long wheelbase and also a Berlinetta.
    Does anyone know who owns the red roadster advertised on here? I have emailed him but not had a reply yet.A phone no would be handy as I would be interested in buying it.

      John, I had the same problem resting my left foot on the pedal. I got over it by dropping a section of the floor by about an inch which means I can now tuck my foot between the brake and clutch which is much more comfortable. It is quite an easy job. "Biro" described it in Pitstop about a year ago and it works. It's a bit drastic to change cars when the solution is so easy. The bigger cars just aren't as much fun. I've tried that too! Stick with the Roadster.

        I got over this by fitting a small bracket to the tunnel to rest my foot on. It does help 'though if you have size 8 or less feet and I tend to wear as narrow a shoe as comfortable while driving her.I don't find it a hinderence to using the clutch at all.
