Thanks!

Hi Chuck,

They are a bit tight if you are long in the leg, also seat back is fixed so no way of moving seat back, it is up against the petrol tank. I once knew an owner who was shall I say "stocky", and he left the steering wheel nut loose, and removed wheel to get in or out!

I am 6 foot 2 inches and drive and work on them regularly, just take a bit of getting used to, the driving position is on a slight angle so that in event of an ambush, etc. the driver can look through the rear hatch to reverse out of trouble.
