wondered about having 3 seats up front but making the centre one the drivers one :idea: ie moving the steering wheel, pedals and clocks over to the centre 8) 8)

not sure how safe or legal it would be :? not very good for checking your shoulder when changing lanes etc. :(

but it'd be pritty cool to see done :mrgreen:
