Are you happy with the reach to the standard steering wheel on a roundy?

The wheel is in the right spot. They made the seats adjustable for a reason.

It should be closer for when you run a locked diff and big rubber.

Sure they did.. but do you set the seat so that your arms are comfortable
or your ample @ss and legs are comfortable? :roll:

I set it so that the arms and leg lengths are both right. It is within the range of the seat adjusters.
Just because most people don't know how to adjust their seats is not my fault.

Most mini owners have reachers disease, so you would need to put the wheel much closer to the upper body, well away from the pockets :mrgreen:
