    And whats this shit with sitting as low as possible while driving? Must be impossible to see the road surface closer than 100 metres on front.

    Apart from Mexicans whe the hell else sits that low? Those without much money just set the seat back on full recline position and hang onto the steering wheel to hold themselves up enough to see over the dash!
    Must be murder on their back after 1/2 an hour of driving - and imagine the control they (don't) have.

    One local has mag wheel centres blu-taked to the dash so when viewed coming towards you it look like he has chrome accessory instrument pods

    Dont sound pretty huh... luckily, I'll be either dead or very hard of hearing due to riding a motorbike, and without earplugs too. I even have aftermarket pipes.

    None of those evil symptoms for me....

    You've got to look like you are in control....

    None of this looking like a granny peering over the bonnet. Therefore if you want race seats, you've gotta get used to not being able to see much.

    Of course, they're all good drivers, so dont need all that visibility anyway.
