Hey, I calculated 60.8" in the third post- only a half inch off.........

Must have been a rounding error on your slide rule.:thumbsup

Be careful, keep your back straight and lift with your knees.

Among his other accomplishments, Mark McGowan was also the test pilot who, during development, flew the GT to its 212 mph top speed at the Nardo test loop in Italy.
Thanks for the autograph at Rally III, Mark. You da Man!
