davemk7 Ayrton Senna Posts: 8428 since 04/04/2006	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

If you want a race seat, then there are plenty on ebay, here are 2 for £64 at present http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2x-Cobra-Clubman-bucket-seats_W0QQitemZ150143345134QQihZ005QQcategoryZ30172QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem If you would rather have a car seat, then take a trip to your local scrap car dealer.

thatnks but i am short i space, I can probably leave it in place most of the time but it needs to be fairly narrow.

that might be a very good idea thanks

I might go for just the seat on legs
