yeah, size 11 here too.. if i'm wearing thongs i just cant put my foot on the brake without hitting the clutch or accel, so i take em off and use my big toe to accelerate (hurts after a long drive)

work shoes are fine because the ends are quite pointy so i can just use the end of them..

sneakers.. well... i'm used to it now

Hahaha.. My hubby's takes a size 12 and on the weekend he was sitting in the resto with his foot on the pedal and said 'crap I'll have to drive it with my big toe' :lol: I'll have to tell him apparently he's not the only one!

Though I did tell him it's my mini and he shouldn't be thinking about driving it anyhow :wink:

I have a Daihatsu Handi Deluxe, its got virtually no gap between pedals like the mini, and I wear a size 12/13 Shoe, but I wear those skaty type shoes that are twice as wide, I used to always press 2 pedals but now I'm used to it and somehow manage to only press the one.
