I did a zoom-in and used an envelope to check the level, you are correct freebeard.

What? Again?!?

Type 92 SS: A specialized version built for the Waffen-SS, mainly used in the Soviet Union. The Type 92 came equipped with leather seats, map tables, and even hooks for fastening firearms.[3][4]

Duckboards. I think I'll make some for my Baja Bug.

Awesome link there, thanks.

Some images in link below that illustrate that true tandem seating is not without it's own issues.

Ideations assumed the existence of fully-enclosed body panelling and a car-like interior, complete with custom machined and/or molded components. Some side effects of the tandem layout, such as the positioning of the passenger's legs and knees, offered unique ergonomic challenges to be addressed.

The Raesr Tachyon Speed:



It's got step wells for ingress/egress instead of knee room for the passenger. It's really hard to find a picture of this thing with the [suicide gull-wing] back door open.

I cant see bow the equivalent of Disneyland log ride seating would do it for me on one of my 1,000 mile trips.

Different strokes for different peoples.

Yep, that's a problem with inboard and tandem seating, the how to get to the middle without bumping your head or having to climb over something. GT40 style door/roof and gull-wing doors serve a purpose and are not just for show.

Soon I will be looking for sliding and rotating seat examples so one does not have to hobble in like a circus act (aka McLaren F1 style).

Also considering hinging the removable targa top on my design so that it flips/folds out of the way once door operation activates it. Could be simple or complex, the older I get the more I want things idiot proof though.

About that designers website, I'm surprised (and envious) how many of the designs got off paper and were built. Not pedestrian friendly that particular effort, but has great shock and wow factor.

I suppose some may look at a motorcycle or Can-Am and say "no-way-man", yet those are ridden cross country by a few hardy souls.

For me small isn't the issue, it's being able to make small adjustments to keep the blood flowing.

I still remember that reporter that rode in a cramped armored vehicle during the attack on Iraq, basically he died because he was stuck in limiting position for too long.

David Bloom
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bloom

He had been on assignment in Iraq for several weeks when a blood clot in his leg (known as deep vein thrombosis or DVT) traveled to an artery in his lungs, causing a fatal pulmonary embolism.[7] "The clot in Bloom's leg was likely brought on by spending long days and nights cramped inside armored vehicles. One night he called Melanie from a satellite phone in the middle of the night, exposing himself to hostile fire just to get a few minutes outside of an armored tank because his legs had been cramping up."[8]

Did you guys know about the lower Can-Am Ryker?

I recall sitting on one of the early Can-Am's in a showroom, felt like I was sitting on top of a mountain, the Ryker certainly looks sportier.

The reporter probably flew on airliners, they're notorious for the same thing.

I'd like to see the Arcimoto Roadster with the foot brake moved to the back and a cafe racer saddle.
