hi, talk about sitting real low in cars, there`s this wanker here in renmark with a commodore, sits that low all you can see is the peak of his cap level with the top of steering wheel, he nearly rammed up the back of some one once, and one day when he was overtaking my brother, and cause he was sitting so low, he nearly had a head on with another car, and when he realized this, the guy sprang up in his seat like a jack in box..... so he could see better...........twit..............
