I was just about to post that, however one person that did the mod said don't wast your time with a sawzall, but drill out the piece. Also said it was as stable as a goat. Not sure what that means.

I've got one for you and free shipping if you post a photo of you strapped in it.
you would be surprised at the amount of vehicles that do not cater to the vertically gifted. either my head is sticking out the roof or my chin is resting on my knee. racecar....forget about it, they would have to build it around me.....tiny tiny, not to mention the pedals are so close together that my foot covers all of them

The girls thought it was great, but I no longer turn my back on goats and I no longer carry cheddar bunnies in my pocket.

Hahaha, I'd love to see you in a race car then. The Caterham (avatar) for me was luxury, almost an armchair, compared to my my Pilbeam F2 single seat race car. Once strapped into that if you sneezed you'd end up with a hernia and if you wanted a last minute pee, well forget it, it took too long to unstrap the belts and get out and then re-strap yourself (with help from others) back in comfortably by that time the qualifying or race was finished.

I suppose you guys could always do Nascar and sit in the back seat position

As an aside, I was once at an F1 exhibition in Birmingham, England and met Johnny Herbert and Derek Warwick, they were like midgets even compared to me. I was about 12-13 stones (168-182 lbs) and these guys, even those today, weigh in at about 9 stones, about 125 lbs.
