I recently bought my first mini and had to put the drivers seat right back so now nobody can sit behind me (not necessarily a bad thing) im 6ft 2" and was wondering if we could find the tallest mini driver, and possibly see a picture of them in their mini?

Nev Payne! There is a video of him on here somewhere folding into his mini!

Here it is! I think he's 6f 6" but I'm not rightly sure, my neck was straining at the time ;)

I think it really depends on your drivgin style. I'm 6'3" and am perfectly comfy, don't even quite have the seat all the way back as its the gf's car and she complains that the rear pocket marks the seat if its pushed all teh way back.

My first car was a mini I guess so its the driving position I got used to driving in.

im 6 foot 7, to be honest its a bloody pain to get in and out, i have to have a custom made roll cage (so the rear hoop goes back far enough, we have to remove the rear bins and the overhang of the rear seat, we have to build a custom steering column and modify the gearstick,

but you cant beat driving a mini !
