Hiya guys,
very many thanks to you all for taking the time to reply, I’m very grateful 🙂
Hiya Big Dave, many thanks for your reply, I’ll try to answer as best I can but maybe a few words of explanation might help to explain where i’m at right now.
Previously, I had no trouble with driving, arms & legs could manage what they had to do, then 3 years ago I had a fall and knee capped myself, ( right leg ) which means I’ve been hobbling about on crutches ever since. At this point, i’m not even 100% sure I can even get my leg into a drivers seat due to lack of flexibility, it took me months to figure out how to just get in a passenger seat but ever the optimist, i’ll do my best to figure out a way of getting in and out.
Then, last year, as part of surgery for cancer, my lymph glands were removed from my left arm, which has left me with a permanent reduction in movement, though I still have enough movement to drive but it gets very painful.
Neck and back problems since my fall mean I don’t really want to be having to turn too much when reversing/parking, hence the wish for parking pilot and or rear cameras.
Anyhoo, that might give you an idea of the problems I have at the mo.
So to answer your questions…
I was thinking in terms of a manual, petrol car.
5 seats would do. previously had hatchbacks but appreciate some of these might be a bit short on boot space ( that’s my Bugatti Veyron out the window 🙁 )
Currently on PIP.
As for a hoist for the scooter, do you know, that had never even crossed my mind. I wouldn’t even know where to start if I wanted to look into getting one. Any further info you can suggest on this would be very handy.
As for low/high entry/exit, I would think in the middle thereabouts. nothing too low as I might have some difficulty getting seated, however, i’m just short of 5″ so nothing too high either. Awkward, eh? 🙂 I hope that helps a bit. Thank you!
Hiya Mike 🙂 I certainly am young, in my head at any rate but not far off your age if I’m being truthful and yes, i’d like to think that’s still very young 🙂
Hiya Wardy, I am indeed a bit of a legend – in my own lunch time, that is 😀
Hiya Phil, it would never have occurred to me to do that, cheers, that’s very handy to know, I’ll bear that in mind. Thank you! 🙂
Hiya Wardy, many thanks, i’ll make a note of that and have a look, cheers!
LOL 😀 Mike, you are but a spring chicken 🙂
Anyhoo, thank you all so much for your help and welcomes so far, every word is greatly appreciated. 🙂
