Hi everyone,

I joined recently and have already had some good info from the group - thank you!

I’ve set my heart on a new F Type (P380 convertible) after driving a couple recently but timing not right yet so will be next year sadly, a long wait!

Looking forward to when I can give something back to the group too when I get some experience with it, although I’m already worrying about pedestrian safety systems and paint chips and I haven’t got the car yet! I am a bit OCD at times!

Hopefully meet a few of you too at the various gatherings 😀

Thanks Kaspa! I very nearly bought a 400 earlier this year but was dismayed to find the performance seats are too short so the headrest part digs into the top of my spine sadly. So it has to be regular seats 😕 and no 400

Note to self not to upset you outside the forum. I’m 6’ and fit the Evoque seats like a glove, same with F type sports seats

Lol. Haven’t tried Evoque seats but also haven’t come across non-adjustable headrests before! I’m only 6’ 3” !

Well CJ10jeeper, the answer lies in that I'm also shoulder witdh '3XL' and some front doors of terraced houses I have to enter sideways as
my shoulders are to wide... If your shape comes nearer to that of a pencil, you indeed don't have this problem... :mrgreen:

And 6 feet is just above average height.. ... I am 6'6" ..

I thought the Dutch were all tall and thin - you seem to be bucking one trend!
