Also, proper seat angle is when you can limp your wrists over the top of the steering wheel while your back is still against the seat.

By the way, if you see a silver BRZ Sport Tech roaming around Waterloo, it's probably me.
I've always been seated back far enough that when I've got the clutch fully depressed, I'm on my tippytoes. I think it's the same principle for all these tips: being too close to the clutch can definitely make things a little too clunky.

Will be watching out for you engsr!

Yes, hi it was me. Unfortunately I have to go through there daily, while Huron road is closed off for construction, so I can't get to Homer Watson. Too many cars, too much traffic, but good practice.

Spotted mountainside on Fairway Rd yesterday! Your boy was driving, looking good . We were in my wife's red Mazda making a turn to get some cakes at Williams yum.
At first I was like ok whats that, so tiny. Then I realized the shape is fr-s. When I saw the car first time along with other vehicles, I realized how miniature it looks in comparison to all other cruise ships around it.. hehe. But when I walk around it and sit in it it does not feel that small. I guess everything is relative.
