arr, read this as space 
my mistake
the 300zx tbar is pretty hard to find a decent example of, and there much more of a cruiser than a sporty car so might feel a little heavy in comparison to the 182

Ah sorry, I meant overall it was just a pretty small car and I'm a pretty tall guy

I live with it as it's so much fun!
I've actually go the seat nicely set back now (got the rails moved a little) so actually my legs are not really bent too badly but you are a bit taller than me.300zx would be pretty cool - but pretty rare too.
I wonder if you could get an older porka or audi in convertible guise?

if you can find one that's not a shed, an audi convertible would be my choice

A lad at works has an E30 325 cabriolet and they are lovely looking cars and would fit into your requirements (although perhaps a little too old)

Is it easy to move the rails back? Also how tall are you Will?

It's given me an extra inch - doesn't sound like much, but it really makes a difference!
I am a mere 6'1".

Good good, you are taller then me. I suppose that means there is absolutely no room behind your seat.

Nope it's flat against the bulkhead - but I don't like driving in a slouched position. I like to be fairly upright (not 90 degrees
) - it's more comfy on the legs and arms for me. You can sit in it at the RR day if you want
Soldato
Wow you seem to have the same seating position as me, I like to have back support when driving. Anyway I'll stop taking Gilly's thread off topic and I will have to take you up on that offer.

I have an (expired) CBT and a comparatively small amount of road experience to go with it - riding to work and going for the odd blast etc. Havnt taken any lessons properly yet as I am only just 21
There are two routes really, you can buy yourself a 125 when you have done your CBT and ride that to gain road exp while you take your lessons. When on your lessons you wont stay on a 125 for very long at all I dont think, when I was doing my CBT, the DAS group people were all on Kawasaki ER-5's.
You could then flog the 125 for not much less than you paid for it (providing you havnt flung it down the road TOO badly) and buy yourself something else when you have your full licence.
The other alternative is to just use the bike schools bike and pay for more lessons (because without practice on your own, you probably will need way more).
Personally, I have a 125 in the garage
Heh. Only bike I've ridden was a p-dub 50 and that was about 10 years ago
