Dream?

I had a fiberglass rally seat in my Bay. Comfy even after 4 hours'
driving. It was just great for hard cornering... accidents happen on
corners when the seat can't hold you and you end up hanging onto the
wheel....WHOOPPEE!!!! Turn too hard and hit whatever's on the inside
of the bend, like a rock wall...

It was probably less of a pain to get into, as the wheel in the Bay
is not too far off horizontal, but I couldn't reach the left door
lock knob easily at all (and I have LONG arms); had to get out of the
seat to unlock the slider.

I will eventually fit this seat to my Caravelle, but I will have a
tilt column fitted by then, so hopefully entry-egress won't be much
of a problem.
