For a few days i've been having trouble with my hip (i know whats doing it (on my way to the doctors thursday) it the chair i've been using to drive in and it has no support to it) assuing i haven't damaged too badly I think now's a good time to buy a proper seat / setup. Any ideas?? I quite like these http://gameracer.co.uk/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=3 (probably the basic frame or the g25) but are they any good?? thanks in advance dave

The problem with that Mike, is Dave needs the space, so something that folds and stores in a small space would be better

that might be a very good idea thanks I might go for just the seat on legs http://gameracer.co.uk/detail.aspx?ID=84 because it would go with what i already have, i haven't decided yet.
