I know a load of people on here have had them, odd question but how tall are you?, especially the guys with track cars.

I'm about 5 11. Plenty enough room, seat was almost all the way back, unsure if there would be much room with a helmet on though.

5'10, headroom is fine even with helmet, my puma has no linings or anything.
With helmet it can touch on the roll cage padding though.

I'm 6'2" and I don't think the driving position is very good in it. I find that when I'm looking right at a junction or roundabout I tend to get a nice view of the A pillar and the roof.
I've heard you can drop the seat lower with some modifications which would probably help; I think I'm just a little bit too tall for it.

Do you reckon you could get a helmet on still Ed?

Yup, there's plenty of headroom in it. It's just blatantly a re-bodied Ford Ka so things don't quite work for me in it.

Mine is fine but the seats are lower than standard. Sometimes bump my head on the door frames on the standard ones.

6'. Right leg hit the doorcard and used to get intimate with my passenger when changing gears 
Head room wasn't too bad, but I hit my head multiple times on the a pillar area when getting out the car. Fucking drove me mad.
My z4 is bigger.

Bloke I used to rally with had a Super 1600 Puma rally car, he was just short of 6ft tall. The seat was down on the lowest point on the mounts, and the mounts were as low as the rails would allow. Seat was tilted back a fair bit so he had some head room. Still had to put his helmet on outside the car then get in & have a quick release steering wheel so he could get into the thing.
The ironic thing was his co-driver was 5ft 4
