Miniman7 is correct -- its for the RPMs. When I am on the open highway, I tend to drop the steeringwheel down a bit, prefer the driving experience over seeing the TAC...

I have considered checking out how the rails operate; to see if I could have them lowered an inch or so -- that would allow me to straighten out the seat more vertical for even better a ride...

Is it normaly hard for you to find a car that you will feel comfortable in?

Well, "normal" is finding a car I can simply "fit" into. Up to the Mini, the reason I owned cars (well, 4x4 quad cab pickup trucks) has been simply that I could fit into them...

I think this is the first vehicle I've owned, let alone driven, which had actual handling, ammenities, and over 13 MPG (US).

I am only 6'6" and the first question I get is "You fit in there?". I didn't think anyone taller than me would fit comfortably. I didn't get the sunroof becuase it took an inch or so out of the head room. I glad to see other tall people in coopers. I love the red interior.

If you did get the sunroof, you could just stick your head out of it and drive that way!

Thank you MINI, for getting this man out of his truck!
Welcome to the world of silly grins!
Enjoy!

well i really want to see pics of you and 3 other people after returning from a 3+ hour FAST drive!

You might be OK, but your passengers will prolly be a little

and bothered!

How does your seat fit you? which one have you got? is it ok after a long drive for you?

I am finding the seat i got to be flexing hard under acceleration... thinking of swapping for Jap spec WRX style seat!
