The Sacred Octagon

[CFritz7001@aol.com]

Somewhere in my library, I have a magazine with a photo of Primo Carnera , who was a contender for the heavyweight title from Argentina. He was sitting in "his TC", which always amazed me since he stood well over 6 feet tall. Someone must have figured out a way to move the seats REALLY far back Regards, Carl Fritz TC # 6756 (Betsy) VA # 2009 S (Abigail) Gainesville, Florida

6'4"and not as may stones as when you last saw me....... Getting in with the bucket seats is easy, so long as the roof is down. When the roof is up the proceedure is somewhat more convoluted and certainly unglamorous........ Its also best not to sneeze usless absolutely necessary.......

Hi Joe, I'm not sure about the respective sizes of Whiteman/ Carnera but the latter is pictured in my "T Series Handbook," page page 19 and I recall he was pretty big. Clem TC 7218

Yeah Carl but would he have lost points due to incorrect seat position? Joe curto

Another personality who owned, perhaps he still does, if he's still around, was Julian Breame, the classical guitarist. I recall reading once about him having an accident in his TC, he skidded into a bridge abutment and because his arm was sticking out..yep, he crushed his elbow, his strumming one of course and it was feared that his guitar playing days were over, but thankfully were'nt.
