does anyone elses ankle ache after driving for more than an hour or so? keeping my foot lifted up for ages hurts, is there anything that can be done to put your feet at a different angle etc. different seats or something?

Trial and error finding something more comfortable. Have you tried an extension for the accelerator pedal? Might make your driving position slightly different.

i usually find this only when at a constant speed, i.e when my foot is all the way down, so i swap feet for a little bit!

nah, this time of year everything go's numb so you cant feel anything anyway.

i was once comming up to a junction and i found i couldnt pull my clutch in my hands were so cold, so i just came to a stop and stalled it lol.

its aches at constant speed like screech said, i tried changing feed but got cramp :thumbsup:

where can i get these extension pedals from?

Miniboo, are you my guardian angle or something? you seem to be answering all my questions wherever I go :cry:

If driving for a long time at constant speed i just rest my right foot partly on the pedal and resting against the right hand panel next to the pedal.

If that makes sense, that way you stay at a constant speed and ur foot doesnt get tired because u have something solid to rest against, if you want to change speed u just move ur foot a little, work so much better than suspending it in mid air. :thumbsup:
