Guest Guests Posted 27/11/03 05:11 AM Share Posted 27/11/03 05:11 AM Does your right arm hurt from driving the T?My inner forearm is sore and I wonder if its because of my driving style?I tend to rest my left elbow(and half my body weight)on the centre console and just hold the steering wheel with my right hand.(at the top)This is fine but when it comes to corners, the power steer aint a one finger job,which I like BTW when driving two handed.Any one else found this ? or is it to much jerking the gerkin overhand.vik Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/7690-hows-your-right-arms/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Sth Coast Rac...ops I mean Cruise my arm was quite sore. I have a dodgy right arm anyway from too much computer mousing (can I file a claim against fordxr6turbo.com?) so I have swapped to being a left handed mouser.

Posted 27/11/03 05:20 AM Share Posted 27/11/03 05:20 AM I do find that my forearms feel uncomfortable sometimes. I usually rest arm on door and hold wheel with same hand. Never felt it before.

But much easier than the XA with out power steer & 14' wheel.Scotty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/7690-hows-your-right-arms/#findComment-68578 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO KEN NOT THAT - just lifting the stubbies, tubes, schooners up to the lips ...

I'd have to say that I have one of the finest, most well-toned right arms in the business. It's taken a lot of practice, practice, practise, but if you are really focused and want it bad enough, you can achieve anything.... God I need to get off this forum ... I'm going slowly nuts ...
