blimey we are all tall chaps here, i am 6'4 myself.

Bob - Yeah should be brilliant trip, i now have TomTom maps for all of Europe, and over 10,000 campsites on POI's thoughout europe too. Was going to take a caravan, but now probably just going go camping! Should be more fun plus 160mph legally in germany  

Work work is the problem i have 2 other mates who, REALLY want to come too on the trip, and i want them to come too as it will reduce fuel bills, but  i cannot give a firm date on when exactly i am going due to unknown stuff with uni... plus we are prob going to take 2 months going around and waste the student loan money i have been saving up. I plan to get drunk in every country!  

[theolodian]

I find headroom to be the main problem.  I haven't been in a Zafira, but in the other cars mentioned - including the Omega - I rub the headliner.  I am 6'1".  Otherwise, I often find FWD RHD cars more comfortable on long trips b/c u get 2 dead pedals.

Press the down button on the seat Theo......im 6'3" and plenty of headroom  
And will go down further.....but leave it set higher than the passenger side.....gives the impression that im taller than i am  

I've tried, even had a couple of people here try including TB.  Seat won't go down more, is about 1cm higher than pass side.  I have the seat reclined more than usual, but I'm still wedged in the sunroof.  Considering having some of the foam scooped out of the seat base.  Had that done on another car and it worked well.

It would be very rude not to - beats the hell out of getting repeatedly drunk in the same country!!

[tunnie]

hell yeah, and there is the language barrier to! Adds some extra excitment  

[Tony H]

The language barrier does not exist when you show your empty glass to the barman and say "more beer!!"

Too true......bet there's not a barman in the world that doesn't understand "BEER"!! [smiley=happy.gif]

i now have TomTom maps for all of Europe

TomTom6 Europe version uses a single unified Europe map, unlike the awkward country maps of previous versions.

If you want to see it in action before going, you are welcome to look at mine...

Ah rite.....so is its electric prob or seat jammed?......if the latter maybe worth looking out for a replacement, but guess you probably are

Plus maps are a PITA if you are crossing borders.  And work out really big.  The unified map is around 1Gb, obviously more space required for POIs.

No, seat works perfectly except for heaters and it doesn't go down as much as I would like.

There doesn't appear to be, we moved it in every direction & checked for obstructions.
