Hello, I'm new to watching this list but...it's been a dream for over 20
years to have a Spitfire and circumstances are now such that it's
possible (oh boy oh boy oh boy). Problem is I'm a much bigger boy now
than I was in high school. Who's the biggest Spitfire driver out there
and what is the general opinion of how tall and how big is too tall or
too big ? Concerns would be how tall before your head hits the inside of
the roof, how big before you can't fit in the bucket seat, etc...
And does anybody have a BRG, any year, able to be daily driven Spit they
are willing to sell?

Kevin,
Don't know how big you are, but I am 6 foot, and weigh in
excess of... Well, let me just say that when my alter-ego is
in costume of SCCA Corner Worker, I have been referred to as
either the Michelin Man or the Pillsbury Dough Boy. I do have
trouble getting into my Spit with the top up, but that has as
much to do with getting older and not being as flexible as I
once was as anything else.
Cheers,
Doug
