[s-cars] {s-cars] storing leather seats

[Tom Green]

Lee,

I was going to tell you that you were getting some bad advice. :- 
(   I would just get
some 5 caster office chair bases and mount them on those and store in  
the office,
aka the recaro office chair option that was offered a few years  
back.   That is the
location of my spare drivers seat for the S6.  It's a favorite of the  
grandson running
GTA or some such computer driving game.  The back seat is in a  
closet, but that
cannot last much longer.    I'm talking s-car seats, of course.  The  
A6 seats I gave
away to a person happy to get them.

Tom '95 S6
