Just wondering because I don't know anyone close by who has a scooby, and I want to know if my legs would be long enough to reach the pedals!!

I'm 5 foot tall with 25" inside leg. Basically, I'm a midget.

My missus is 4ft 11 1/2.

She drives mine no problem and intends to get it as a hand-me-down

For the men department, I would obviously win at a height of 5'7". Thank god that I more than make up for it in the horizontal department.

I'm 5' exactly (remember - it's not the quantity it's the quality!) and I can drive our MY01 when I'm allowed!

Sorry Katana, pipped you at the post for men, 5' 5 1/2.

I'm the same height lying down so beat you horizontal too.

Garnet, if North Somerset means Bath you can have a ride in mine sometime to check if you like.

Katana, I can think of something you'd win, but as I've no intention of challenging you to a fight, you'll have to take my word on it!

Boyf took me out in his RSturbo for a driving lesson. I can't do corners.

DO you have to get an exhaust that size imported specially?
