    Yes because putting a sticker and a better shock on a bike is no worse than not seeing the kid runout in front of your car because you cant see infront of your bonnet and killing the kid. And a puppy.

    Think before you post einstein.

    Lowering the seats makes the roof leak too - hence the daft pricks have to wear their hoods up while driving - makes me laugh so much I fog up my visor.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    I have always driven well back from the steering wheel, seat slightly reclined. Its how my dad drove, and since I learned to heel and toe years before I learned to park a car, I guess I may not have had the most gentle attitude to driving cars. But being a country boy I was always on open roads, and looking "down the bonnet" generally meant you werent looking far enough ahead where things were going to get you. In town I do sit more upright.

    A ford V8 AND a mazda 6? Why hasnt a formula one team picked up such an obvious talent? You have to be gods gift which such challenging, high performance and twitchy handling vehicles. I eagerly await any pearls of motoring wisdom you wish to share with us O driving legend.

    Even driving instructors don't know the recommended driving position. I've had students come for a test with the steering wheel so close to their chests that they hold the wheel from behind. apart from issues with car control, that will ensure you die in a head on.

    I never have much choice about seating position in a car - I just whack the seat right back and hope there's enough room for my legs.

    Then I have to recline the seat until my head doesn't touch the ceiling any more.

    Dead easy.

    Timber you counrty hick,

    You have missed the point. I usally get annoyed at people who cant read, but becuase you grew up / still live in hicksville I assume you went to a secondrate school and therefore cant get the general gist of my post.

    I am talking about the young city drivers. Sure on an open road with little or no traffic, there is nothing thats going to happen RIGHT infront of your bonnet. [Thanks very much for pointing this out to me - Do you want a gold star?] The context of my post was of that in wich they are driving on densly populated roads, where your 2 second rule cannot be applied. Kids, dogs and motorists often back out of a driveway or pull out with out seeing anyone and crash. Most of which have a safe upright seating postion. How much worse is it when they cant even see over their bonnet?

    Go ahead, tell them everything you know. It'll only take 10 seconds

    That is so the driver can see out the window when going sideways. Navigator sits further rearward when possible also.

    Your message board incompetence is an inspiration to botched lobotomy patients everywhere. Your post is an orgy of stultifying cacophonous verbal depravity; an exercise in literary impotence, and an offense to all of good taste and decency.

    I don't know what makes you such a worthless poster, but it really works! You must have a very large brain to hold such a vast amount of sheer ignorance. Well, you're certainly thoughtless; I just wish that you were keyboard-less, too. As Robert Wilensky said: "We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true."

    You are about as entertaining as watching grass grow in a windowbox. What do you do for a living? You are living, aren't you? Why don't you close your mouth before someone sticks an apple in it? Maybe you wouldn't read like such a pathetic loser if you weren't so dense that light bends around you; if your weren't so fat that your cereal bowl has its own lifeguard, or if you didn't have a face that people rub tree branches on to make ugly sticks. Who am I kidding? You would.

    In future, if you have something to say, just shut up.

    What a wonderful capacity for verbosity you have. You appear to have accumulated a substantial vocabulary.

    I won't pass any abuse...because I don't...but I will offer up a fact that I can see.

    Thats becuase I had alot of red rep. close to 50/50. And rep is just when people agree with what you say. And I don't post what people want me to post, I post what ever I like.

    You can have your magic green boxes. I don't care.
