hi all

my name is iain and im an aprentice mechanic and i live in scotland. I drive a mk3 rover 200 at the moment but would like a mini, but my problem im 6'4" in height. I road tested a mini at work a while back and barely fitted in it knees where on the dash. so i guess what i really want to know is there any way of making a mini fit me, is there any other lanky mini drivers?

great site by the way thanks

Where are all these tall mini owners coming from?

Theres been a couple of very recent topics about this very thing!!

If you do a search they should turn up fairly easily.

Its not a prob for me as I'm 5ft!!

Good luck with looking for a Mini

Im 6' and have no problems, one of mates is 6'2" andhe has driven mine fine as well.

I got asked the other day how I fit in such a small car. I replied with by getting in the door. He didnt look too impressed I just recline the seat a bit and its more than comfortable enough.
