Velocity & Viento comparison
The bloke who sits behind me at work is a bit of a petrol-head. He's also around 6'6", tall and skinny!
He was complaining that he just couldn't fit in a stock seven, so I mentioned the Viento. I found it hard to describe just how big they are,
but I do remember a picture with a Velocity next to a Viento in a car park or forecourt.
Can anyone remember that photo?
cheers,
David

A friend of mine once described my Indy as 'a wheelbarrow'
Well if the velocity is a wheelbarrow, the Viento is a dumper truck
"That thing you're thinking - it wont be that."

This bloke's all legs! He said that the last time he went in a Westfield as a passenger his knees were jammed up under the bottom of the dash.

I'm 6'3" and have loads of room in the Indy with Cobra Roadsters fitted. Using Fibreglass seats I'd get a couple more inches
of leg room.

I wasn't looking for a "he'll fit in xxx car" discussion!
I just want to find that picture... One Velocity, one Vento, side-by-side, head-on shot.

A Viento is 12" longer, 6" wider, and 4" taller than a Locost7.
Its a BIG bugger, I know I have one. My lad is 23 St and 6ft 6 1/2" and fits in it no problemo.
Plenty of leg room.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards
