My ex was 5ft and had no problems

hang the wife by her fingers in a door way and tie a 56lb weight to each foot for a few hours a day!

Joking aside, height is not always directly the problems with this, its things like leg length vis a v body length, the persons driving style, arm position and angle etc etc, so not a straight forward calculation.

Some people sit squashed right up to the wheel others straight arm etc etc, I remember years ago Gerry Marshal who used to drive touring cars with the wheel tight up to his chest. and I know of a guy now who drives like that, My Wife at 5' 6" site generally further from the wheel than i do at 5' 9" and she has just been told that that straight arm driving style is not helping her back problems.

The number of yellow pages would also depend on the angle of the dangle, which is relative to the throb of the knob

Cool. Now, how about driving the S2000. Any problems with that?
