I also have the same problem I find it very hard to reach the dash & switches as i have bucket seats and harnesses.

well in mine im able to reach everything including my cut off switch which is low down, so not sure whats wrong with your seats

Silly me, I must have tried to mount a chaise lounge in my Mini or something.

if i strap myself in properly, i can reach up to my rear window heater button... i can turn off the choke too, but not put it on lol

Admittedly, being such a shorty, when I'm strapped in tight, I can't reach my switches, so I have to stretch then re-tighten. Pain in the bum!!

same here, but then i make sure I have everything i needed swithced on before i drive off, oh and a Biro down the side of the seat for switches and a remote for the stereo - most important thing!

[Mini_the_Minx]

I have a remote for my stereo! But as I have short legs, I can switch off my heater or move the slidy thing/push the choke in or switch on my headlights with my left foot!!

Its just a pain as I'm a size 7 i sometimes press the hazards on aswell

another dangerous thing, not with rollcages but with buckets, is use harnesses as a must.

i had a crash with bucket seats and a standard belt. because of the shape of the seat, the seatbelt lay across the seat rather than across my chest. when i crashed i was flung into my seatbelt which didnt have time to react. i hit the steering wheel with my chest and sort of ended up on the dashboard

bucket seat steal youre money too dont have loose change in youre pockets with buckets as itl be on the floor in no time...

i think a walltet might be better

i dont remember what i was wearing it was ages ago now

[Mini_the_Minx]

A wallet/purse/handbag its all the same. I think you'd look good with a handbag personally!!


The guy in the coat looked a fair bit like you I think.
