I agree with Greg. In the past when I had a concourse car, I did not drive
it as much as when I had a "driver" I don't have enough money to keep two
of each car I like. Our current "classic" is my wife's TF, but if it was
mine I would have to replace the stock seat with one lower with a bit more
recline, so I can fit in when the top is up. Doing that would really tic
off some people, but it would be my car, and making it more enjoyable to
drive means it will get driven a lot more (love the idea of a 5 speed, I
hate winding out the engine and reaching for another gear and finding I am
already in 4th, and not even all the way up the on ramp).
