Hi, and thank you all for the warm welcome to TM. It's interesting that our path to this point is a mirror of quite a few of you.
I had initially been disappointed to read of the various issues but have been impressed by the warm enthusiasm and veiled excitement of everyone who has posted comments and ‘I'm back in the fold’
Unless something dramatic happens we will most likely place an order next year when my work/life balance is no longer disrupted by a 220ml commute.
We have notions of burbling around our home in the West Country going nowhere in particular, ploughman's lunch then home and the M3W seems to fit the bill admirably.
What next? Well we plan to hire one for the day. I am 6.2”+ with size 12’s so pedals and shoes will need to be adjusted to suit but we are both looking forward to the adventure..
Please keep the stories coming, good or bad. I am sure there are others cautiously thinking the same as me (us). Remember, you are the pioneers.

I am an inch taller than you and take size 13s, so you should be all right provided you wear serious driving shoes, though a lot depends on the dimensions of various components, thigh length in particular.
I am reasonably comfortable behind the wheel, but I found that a spacer to bring the steering wheel closer was essential. There are several available, with different sizes. Mine is 50mm, from Krazy Horse. It took five minutes to fit, it looks like original equipment and it makes a big difference.
