Have you driven a low-screen Datsun? Has anyone had this problem with the
early cars? It's not something I ever thought of.
Also, note that bodyshape can be different for different people. I know
some guys that are taller than me are more comfortable in their roadsters
than I am, but it seems they've got shorter legs, and longer bodies!
One the best things about fitting a sports steering wheel to my car was the
extra leg room it gave me!
