You know when you know someone special when you can sit on the crapper and gave an open conversation with someone and they're on their crapper

It's like a thing..... like the masons or Quaker gathering

Not quite,

But its close.

As Ive got a flat aluminium underfloor below the original GRP floor im contemplating cutting a hole out and making a GRP well to sit the seat about another 1" lower.

I need to be careful as Im struggling to see over the dash with the steering wheel in place.

The car is tiny !

To put it into context.

Excluding my roof scoop, take a tape measure, mark it up the wall at 47 inches, and stand next to it. Thats the height of my roof !!

My belly button comes to roughly 42" (from the floor, not the diameter lol )

That's a great comparison picture! I never realised how small the Elan was either

Thankfully having the plus 2 I get a bit more leg room shoving the seat back
