    So getting the driver to fit was my biggest concern as I have a complete lack of experience with figures, he's arms are to bent at the elbow to reach the wheel and moving the seat forward wasn't really an option as I will have to leave out the pedals as it is. I have attached at the shoulder...

    Well here is my entry for the GB, 1985 DTM winner. Volvo 240 turbo by beemax, looks reasonably straight forward, no engine,comes with a mask set. I'm gonna try my hand with a figure at the wheel. Not sure this is gonna look right without a towbar for the caravan though :thinking:
