On longer motorway journeys - over an hour, i get a pain on the top of my foot.

I think its because of the angle my foot has to be in to hold down the accelerator.

Is there a way to change the angle, replace the pedal, extend the pedal or do i have to Hop everywhere when i get to my desitination?

i get that. i think its just because i'm too tall (6ft 3). although one of my friends who has a mini is even taller than me and has no problems!?! :lol:
not sure about solving the problem tho'!!
i'll be using your topic to help myself when someone with some proper knowledge replies!! :D :D

possibly your seat positioning?

i had mine on one of the middle catches on the seat, and was comfortable driving like that, but then started to ache in my legs, i moved it forward a notch and now its gone away.

hope it helps

i sort of get this, in my shins though. I call it the mini shin. haha. I think its where i have the seat too close to the pedals or something, but i just put up with it as i prefer to see the bonnet. heh.
