Hi all

I was just wondering if anyone out there owns a mini, and has a hieght above 6"2, because im looking to purchase a mini, yet I'm a bit worried that maybe it would not be a comfortable car to drive, if I dont not physcially fit, i have sat in one, but I was hopiung to have the opinion of someone who has one and taken it on long drives (cruises etc)!

Thankyou

Craig

Yeah, this has been discussed a couple of times already:

http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7137

Seems the general consensus is that it shouldn't be a problem.

I wouldn't like to be sitting in the seat behind you but :lol:
