Pete, you may have to...however the proof will be in the test drive I suppose..either you are comfortable and can feel the cars balance...i.e..be one with the machine...or not..and that will be your call fella.

You will need some smaller shoes for the pedals if keen on a manual though

The pics and the cars look awesome, maybe next time a blue one can tag along. HSV you can try mine on for size sometime, I'd be pretty close to 6'2" with shoes on and its a std wheel base, though it is an auto (at least I wont miss a gear in the drags at the nationals this year ). I doubt I could drive it easily as a manual though. A couple of mods that I did to take big feet and long legs was to take about half an inch off the left side of the brake pedal so that it can travel past your left ankle and sole of shoe. I also have a dip switch which was mounted on the transmission tunnel and was too close to use so I flipped it round and pointed it to the front of the car using the same bracket and position (so no changes to the loom needed) and can now operate it with the top of my foot rather than the sole. And I've still got the adjustable seat which could be bolted direct to the floor if extra room is required.

cheers
Legless

Apologies for the delay in putting up the pics. My Brissy photo guru has been rather busy...

Still amazed at the quality of pic the Samsung Galaxy takes. Photos look great Adam.

By the way....that golf hole in the background of those shots was officially opened today. I had the nervous pleasure of teeing up with Jan Stephenson (Winner of 18 tournaments world wide and 3 golf majors) Nikki Garrett (pinup golfer, multiple winner on the European tour, the local club pro, and myself in front of the media and decent crowd for the official opening. For the record, I was absolutely crapping myself and managed to hit it to 8ft from 165m.

I will post up the newspaper article when published...
