Tallest MINI Owner
I'm trying to see how the tallest Mini owner is. I'm 6 foot 6, so the bar is set.

Whew, I thought you were looking to see who owned the tallest MINI . . . All I could picture was a FWD "Stomper MINI."

I think "TooTall" is somewhere north of 6'9". I recall several other NAMers claiming heights in excess of 6'6", still you are approaching the height record.

I have a orange mini cooper conv, and I am 6'6", and i constantly get looks when getting out of my car. people just can't believe that I can fit into a car so small. I often tell them that the car gives an optical illusion of being small, but has enough room inside that will compare to most mid-size cars.

I met a basketball player once that gave his height as "five feet, twenty-five inches".

You're doing fine - I honestly thought you were in your late 30's/early 40's..........
