Stumpy wife

Post by PhilTimo » Mon Dec 21, 2020 3:49 pm

All
I've promised my Mrs she can have a go in the Atom in the summer (on a very wide, long, straight bit of road). Unfortunately, she isnt exactly tall, and has much shorter legs than me!
She has just sat in the car, and her feet come no where near the pedals. There's no way I'm, moving the seat just for her to go round the block, can I use a big pad behind her OK??

Yes thats fine for a short trip as long as she can still get the belts done up.

Why would you not move the seat? It's only 4 bolts so fairly quick and easy to do. She'll be more comfortable if you do.

I may do that actually, and see if i can cram myself in there - could be easier

Or perhaps just go for a lap, in your lap?
