Default Fat ****??

I am ashamed to admit that I am having a bit of a problem getting my seat position right. My thighs are being squezzed a bit by the bucket seat. As a consequence I seem to have done my hip in and i'm out of the crossfire for a few days!!! NIGHTMARE! I'm 15 Stone and 6 foot. [ not exactly man mountain ]
One thing I noticed with the seat is that where your **** is parked, the Leather has rucked and the padding underneath seems to have compressed down alot. Anyway else having a problem??.

I'm big enough and ugly enough to take the jipes but useful suggestions would also be welcome!

I like your sense of humor and far be it from me to fault you on your size, it's an international problem. My brother who is about your size insisted on a ride in my Crossfire and with his bad knees it took two of us to lift him out. There are aftermarket seats available (Recaro?) and maybe that's your answer.

yeah the seats are staring to show the same problem with the leather in mine, going to mention it when i go to the delaer next week, want to nip this in the bud early and get a complaint in before they start on the wear and tear argument!

adfc as a colonist, I'm not particularly conversant in the Queen's english. However, if I translate correctly you're saying the the leather in the driver's seat is getting a bit loose and floppy. Ditto with mine. For ref I'm 180# (13 stone) and 5'8"

Yes Loose and floppy is another way of putting it. I wonder if this a problem with alot of them then?. I have a feeling that the Leather is going to look pretty crap in say 2 years time as its also showing slight 'scuff' marks and showing through white. It reminds me of a cheap leather jacket.

I will take it up with the dealer in the new year.

I expect that the driver's side, left bolster will wear thru first. I had a Taurus SHo with similar seatsc took about 6 months and the leather was shredded
