Met a customer today who's boyfriend loves Maserati but doesn't think he can fit into a QP.
She thought he was talking about a 2010 / 2011 model.
I've had a 6'6" passenger in my GS, so I said I'd ask.

I'm 6'4" and I can drive a GT, based on the QPV platform with gusto. I'd be highly surprised if the QP was smaller!

I'm 6'6" and easily drive my GS, would imagine the QP would be at least as spacious

Yes, I am 6ft 4 exactly and can drive it easily. The seat does not even have to go back to its furthest position.

There must be something wrong with the customers boyfriend as I can also fit into an MX-5, a MK1 Golf GTI and 205 GTI without breaking my back. In fact I've never not been able to get into any car and drive it. Maybe they should go to Yoga lessons or the gym to try some stretching?

My mechanic took a customers Robin Hood out on a test drive , a couple of weeks later a speeding ticket went to the owner so he got in touch and they asked for the photograph

When it came it showed a picture of 6'4" Steve driving with the roof off and him looking over the top of the windscreen frame because that's the only way he could fit in it

No disputing that one then

Hold on
I am 6'2' and there is no problem with length from the pedals/wheel etc but there may be with the height
My seat is pretty much as low as it can go and there is not a lot of head room above that
So for a 6'4' chappie it my be touch and go in the height department

Headroom? You must be all body then as there are a good few inches to the headlining for me.

Not you Dave!! I meant Phil must tend towards the feminine, which in fairness his driving does bear out.

No offence intended, I was just surprised being taller than you that you struggle with headroom!

I think Drew was aiming the longer legs / girl comment at me as he later confirmed. The last time I looked in his boot I found Miss Daisy.
