That's how they work mate! You then adjust the seat back rest with the wheel on the side.

How tall are you?

The GTX came with a sunroof as standard, so a little less headroom than a non-sunroof model.

I'm 6 foot but its my legs i have trouble with rubbing the steering wheel. Is it just a case of going on a diet?

Or shrinking!!!

I am 5ft 9in so don't really have the same problem but there are plenty of members that are your height (or taller).

I think it is something you get used to.

Do you have any pictures of the whole car? Always nice to see a GTX.

Looks good mate, are the wheels BBS? £205 sounds like a real bargain. What does it need for a MOT?
Hopefully we will see you at a few shows later in the year?
