there was a thread running about the tallest mini driver
and well im just being nosey....but who is actually tiny?
It's just when i got my mini i expected other mini drivers to be wel.....mini! lol
I am only 5ft! And one of my favorite things about driving amini is that i feel like a proper size person when im sat in my car
It was liek someone designed teh car perfectly for me.....although the desgner of bucket seats did NOT.....as i have just had to flog mine as i can't see over the dash eurgh!
So who is mini?

You are a proper size person! Regardless of the size of the Mini.

I'm not exactly massive myself (5'9")

Absolutely - and it can be an advantage. A chap I knew had a massive shunt in a Mini, he was around 6'6" and used to wedge himself into a Mini for a trip to work up the A21. One morning, one the approach to Robertsbridge he hit a patch of black ice while overtaking a lorry. He rolled the Mini several times, but walked away with cuts and bruises. The lorry driver helped him out of the wreckage and admitted afterwards that as he approached the wreck he was convinced he would be confronted with a corpse. The police and ambulance men reckoned he was so tightly wedged into the car that he didn't move around during the accident.

I need to pile people in the back of mine - I've just changed the rear cones and it is currently sitting like a monster truck!

By the way rubex - cool Mini!

[Jet_black]

I am about average height 5' 10" but a couple of my mates are over 6ft and they managed to fit in the back of the mini.

[Meland4]

I'm 5'2" and my mini is perfect!!
My daily is a transit and although I can move my seat forward enough to reach the pedals when i sit my feet dangle in the air! In my hubbys truck i can only just see over the steering wheel!

Everything is built for giants!!

My Mini is great for me and Chris is 6'1" and has no problems either! WIN!!!

[stocky]

I fit in mine spot on at 5'6" but I feel abit small in my astra, one of the reasons I wanted a mini in the first place, because I knew I wouldnt look a right shorty in it lol
