Porsche's Winter Fantasy Camp, Part 2

Bit expensive for my tastes, and being a six-footer plus I probably could not either fit behind the wheel, nor sit upright without bending my neck to clear the roof.

Model A or early Hupmobiles are the bees knees for the tall guys.

Kind Regards....

Many people 6'3" sit comfortably into the 911 even with a helmet (for track use). 6'5" may be pushing the limit. If you get one without the sunroof, chances are you could do 6'5" (without bending). It also depends on where your height is (torso or legs).

Yes, they are expensive, but I see people spending $40K to $50K for an SUV and the 911 seems like an absolute bargain when you factor the performance advantage and fun. I have owned trucks, and driven my share of SUVs and I can't see what people see in them that makes it worth spending that kind of money. Add the poor fuel economy to the list and it must really hurt.

Sparky:

I am 6'-3" and own a '73 Porsche 914, not as roomy as the Carrera S and without the creature comforts as well. But I fit surprisingly comfortably in my little pocket rocket.

Porsche...There is NO substitute!

UFG

We had a "large Station Wagon" once, a Holden HJ model.

Even so, I had to remove the front Bench Seat, and drill new mounting holes, some 6 inches towards the rear, and refit the seat into the new position.

It's not just the height which is a problem, it is the length of the limbs, and the location of joints on them.

Kind Regards....
