He'll fit in the boot of a Ford Focus if that's any help.

To save you working it out - I know Chris - you'll need to 26mg of ketamine to keep him under for 2-3 hours. This should be long enough to have him cast in wax. Just be careful though, this is not the first time someone has attempted this, so he's very watchful - think Steppe Eagle, rather than Harris Hawk.

Approximately one Shogun

He's obviously forcing that Shogun down onto its springs to make himself look taller. Very strong left arm apparentlyyes

Does anybody know the head height on the bootlid of a Mk3 Astra hatch ?
It varies from model to model, tyre inflation, etc. but I think a 1992 1.4GL is approx 1.0 Chris Goffeys

(sic - Goffies?)

f

But metric or imperial Goffeys/Goffies?

In any case, I do believe that Goffey derives from the Norse term 'Goffius' meaning Astra Hatch Lid at Forehead Level, if that helps.

I wonder what % UK PistonHeads readers don't instantly know who Chris Goffery is?

More importantly who is wider- Chris or Quentin Willson?

She's bought a load of ex TG clothing and wants to know if it will fit.

C**tson - no way. Could use his stuff as a (very smelly) tent
Hamster - no way. Possible could use the trousers as very bad shorts.
May - Hmmmm, possibly. But will smell of stuff like Old Holborne and Brut aftershave

Chris Goffey is exactly twice the distance from the top of his head half way to the ground.

Who is Chris Goffery? And how tall is he on the metric Goffey-scale?
