Will I fit?

[magicPants]

Hi,

I'm 6'2" and am wondering if I'm going to fit into the freestyle comfortably, both in terms of length of leg if I'll be able to see out properly?

Also, can anyone tell me what a rough cost for a mini donor would be please?

Thanks

I'm 6'0" and 100kg and fit with no problems, leg room isn't a problem for me. Getting in needs a bit of body origami though Danny is taller than me and fits nicely but is rather skinner. When driving the demonstrator (well recommended BTW) I could choose whether to look over or through the screen as the seats are so low.

Mini donors cost silly money these days IMO mine was £250. With 20:20 hindsight I'd consider buying all the parts separately if I do another one.

p.s. welcome

Hi Magic & welcome to the forum,

I like Ian am around 6'0" & probably a bit more than 100Kg or 15 1/2 Stone in old money which I understand. I fit with no problems but do not have a internal fuel tank for that reason, again as Ian says Danny muddybuggies site owner is 6'4" & fits nicely. I'll be honest I have no idea how he does but I've seen it so I know it's true.

Best bet would be to come along to one of the shows, you don't say in your profile where you are from but we may have somebody close who you could go see to have a sit in.

As to the cost of a donor, that is a very difficult question, I paid £235 but recovered £150 with bits i sold off it. There was a perfect donor the other day on another forum that was only £100 (wasn't for sale for very long) but that price is rare. Alex (Collie) bought one the other week & paid £300 I think.

As to whether you need a donor, the topic has been talked about quite a few times, try a few searches, different people have different ideas. I personally don't like Q plates, much prefer an age related one, no rational reason just don't like them, sometimes they can cause problems with insurers.

Nah just a good choice of seats and pedal set up. I just think I have a corsa and van for comfort the Buggy is for fun...lol
