Re: Question? Steering column/wheel

["Hjones" <hjones1@airmail.net>]

I am 6'3" and the Scirocco does NOT have enough headroom for my desired
driving position. I had to remove the seat and fabricate some low profile
rails for a very "flat-bottom" seat. I can drive the car with the stock
seat, but the required position is very reclined.
