ooh that would be much appreciated, are the aliso viejo cars and coffee's every weekend/is there one you're planning to attend anytime soon? i did think about getting 1 series manual seats but couldn't find any/didn't think of searching thru 128's. i'm actually 5'10 but with a 30" inseam and with the way i sit i barely have an inch above and my head basically knocks on the roof handles with the power seats at their lowest and with a helmet on
