apparently the Berliner Zeitung BZ had a 1961 or so series called Die Angst hat viele Gesichter. Translates to "Fear has many faces". Possibly the same as "The Tall Man"?
can't find any good sources, but it certainly looks like it was a big deal back then. _________________ regards

They elevated the front end of the SC to help in the ramp angle. I wonder what the risers look like. Or could it just be tipping from all the weight behind the rear axle? |
