During my spell of incapacitation this year when I could not drive we thought it a good idea to get SWMBO behind the wheel of the '98 +8.
It did not go well.
I had removed 3/4" from the wooden seat runners to accommodate my 6'-0" frame when I first bought the car.
We needed to install a cushion for my wife's 5'-2" frame in order to see over the dash.
With the seat as far forward as her 'ahem' chest would allow she could not reach the pedals to operate them effectively.
We gave up in fits of laughter when the car rolled forward in the drive and she could not stop it with the footbrake.
Now she has driven 4WD's, BMW 7 series, Volvos and Jags and has never had this problem.
Has anyone had a similar experience and come up with a solution?
I have looked at my son's Z4 seat and thought 'I wonder' but an electric seat in a trad would probably not look right.
