Mr Dusty has always complained (being a tall man 6ft 1in) that his head/hair brushes the roof lining of the Omega first thing in the morning.
He finds this extremely irritating :D ;D later during the day he hardly mentions it at all. :-?
But, it is a well known fact that people are taller in the morning than the evening. When the Guiness Book of Records measures for the worlds tallest or shortest they do it across the day to get a mean height.
I wonder if any one else has come across this phenomena. When one of the members (I think it was Skruntie) was doing the BMI I seem to remember that Tunnie was 6ft 4in - presumably the tallest member of the forum, and one who may also notice his head grazing the lining on occasions. Unless you know of anyone taller?
Hope I've got my facts right Tunnie?

According to my records, Big Al the tallest at is 6' 7".
I am 6' 1" and my seat is set to the lowest setting. I have loads of headroom. (Including the sunroof gubbins).

The data I have was collected from an earlier post about height and BMI. I used it to work out the height and weight of an average "OOFer" (not that there is any such thing).
All the data I have is here for your info.

I'm 6'3 and have the drivers seat set on max height.......dont have a prob with headroom :y......passenger front seat is set on lowest height........psychological reason! :y

As I've mentioned before, I'm 5'2". You'd probably need a micrometer to measure my diurnal shrinkage.
There's no problem with the roofline or anything else on the Omega - like all luxury cars, it was designed by short fat men for their personal comfort. On most Fords, I need a cushion or I can't see over the steering wheel and reach the pedals at the same time :(

I guess you start off the day all perky and fresh and thinking you are king of the hill.
During the day the other half / kids / parents / relations / job / mortgage / loans / credit crunch / news / weather / baldness / weight etc. etc. gradually make you sink further and further into the seat until you just about slide out of the car at sill level when you get home .
6' 1" in the am 5' 6" by the evening !

well im 6ft 2, my head catches the top and it is annoying, i seem to lower and rasie my seat quite a bit. im not only 6ft 2 im drop ded gorgous as well ;D ;D ;D

Just looked this up
[size=12]Why we are taller in morning than in evening?[/size]
Answer
We are taller in the morning than in the evening because during normal activities during the day the cartilage in our knees and other areas slowly compress, but when you go to sleep and rest the cartilage goes back to normal. On average we are about 1cm taller the morning than in the evening.
The other component to this phenomenon is that the joint capsules loose some of their synovial fluid and the connective tissues around the joints tend to become compressed throughout the day from activity and trying to counter the affects of gravity.
Also, the discs of the spine do the same thing. During the night, they resorb more fluid making them thicker and the person taller. While walking or being upright during the day, they slowly lose some of this fluid and become thinner.
