How many people?

Dec 19, 2003 18 Replies

How many people (adults) will fit on a bench seat in the back of a 90? I recall 6 (3 per bench) in the back of a 110, is this right and is it the same in a 90?



yes, I may, once again, be a land rover owner... soon ;o)

4, two per side. more if you are feeling friendly and sod mr. plod !

Depends on how big their backsides are.

My 109 STW is original registred for 12 people, 3 at front, 3 at the backseat, 6 at the benches. Thats crouded!

My driverslicens in DK only permitt 9 people, have been 10 once, an alumiumcan stuffed with people, no air and foggy windows!

So 6 at the bench of a 90 and 3 at front - Have to be very good friends!!

In a 110 it's 3 kids/small adults per side, or two bloaters ;-)

My seven-year-old thinks the front seat in the Landy is brilliant: she's too small to see out of the windscreen, so she has her own, personal window just below it :). It's not so good in this weather though.

So that's 4 in the back of a 90... room for a couple of dogs at the same time?

Same answer I guess - depends on the size of the dogs.

Face to face in a 90 usually means knee - to - knee (if not with a bit of overlap). Room for dogs to lie under your feet, or possibly for one to stand / sit at one end. I'd get some of those charcoal chews for it first though - it's gonna be pretty cosy!

Isaac likes sitting in the midde seat on the Lightweight - its his seat and if any of the girls sit in it they end up getting their hair pulled until they move.

We looked after a friends Staff the other week and not having had Staffs for several years, we had forgotten how much of a stink they could make.

Lizzie (littlest) likes it too. Happily as brother and sister are 4+ years older it doesn't have the same appeal for them (and they tend to get in the way of gearchanges). Makes her feel important too, I expect, right in the middle of things! So it's middle seat in the winter (when we have the vents shut), passenger side in the summer.

Aren't Land Rovers brilliant!

A similar question might be, has anyone driven with a passenger in the middle front seat and what were there reactions ?

I would fear constantly jabbing them in the belly with my elbow or inadvertantly groping where I should not :(

I've done it many a time as both driver and passenger. It helps if you have a good relationship with the other person. It would also probably help to wear a codpiece, if you happen to be the passenger.

They have their moments... but yeah, we love 'em too!

or train the passenger to do the gearchanges.

In my experience the center seat is always best for the drivers significant other (whenever possible)

You can drive without touching the center passenger too often. Dont bank on using an overdrive much though unless you are really good friends!

With the S111 I had it used to be along the lines of;

'Can I have a lift home?' 'Well there is only one seat left...' 'But I'd really appreciate it' 'OK, but how happy are you at spreading your legs?' 'I didn't mean that appreciative!! I'll get a taxi'

Once my friends got used to it, most were OK, and the smallest of the group got the hot seat, and as long as there was pleanty of notice, the overdrive wasn't a problem :-)

One bother I had was that there were speaker shelves above the back windows that would get battered about on a regular basis by the heads of less alert passengers.

I did manage to get 8 very drunk policemen in the back once, but I figured if I did get stopped I would have a bloody good excuse!
