soubriquet 0 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I'm 5'10" (178 cm) and have difficulty fitting into small spaces. It must be tough for those who are really tall. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,2155905,00.html Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 180cm (and a bit wider than I was last month) Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I was 183 and now more like 182 cos you shrink in your old age right? Well, anyway, a 6 footer as called at school. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 That's tall for Chinese. I've lost a centimetre because carrying 1000's of tonnes of bags of cattle feed has comapacted my back. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 nah, look up north, look at the young ones down south. Too much protein (fast food, hamburgers) I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites
66jzmstr 0 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 186cm. Was 187cm before the degenerative/herniated lumbars discs. Argh. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 Ouch No66. Can you get in and out of small spaces? Soubriquette's using the Legacy, and I'm finding it tough to get in and out of a Subaru Vivio. Link to post Share on other sites

Soubriquette's using the Legacy, and I'm finding it tough to get in and out of a Subaru Vivio. I was about to respond, "Sure - no problem!" until I remembered to transport my dimensions back to Japanland (currently in Seattle now). I have to duck my head down a lot in doorways. In more compact cars in Japan, I get to inspect my knees at a much closer view than I'm normally used to, but it usually isn't too bad if I get to ride shotgun with the seat all the way back. Although when I lived in Kumamoto in the international students dorm, I had to go fetal when sleeping on the raised futon/bed because it wasn't long enough. (Walls were at the foot and head of the bed, so it was a real gaijin sando!) Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 Not being able to stretch out fully in bed gives me the creeps. Just thinking about it makes my knees ache. I can just manage it kipping diagonally in the back of the Legacy. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Also 186 cm, but it depends which leg I favor. Due to a surfing accident I have 1 leg 11mm shorter than the other. It can be a pain in the arse being tall sometimes. I once flew to the UK from Oz on a DC10. The seats were so crammed I couldn't even point my knees straight forward. However , in crowd at the footy it's great. Link to post Share on other sites
