[V8] Seat height

[Ingo Rautenberg]

No, no.  My first '90 (May '89 build IIRC) had sport seats.  Also  
have them in my '91 5 speed.  OTOH I have the "luxury" Connolly seats  
on the '93, but they're too high for my taste (I'm 6'4").

I definitely prefer the sports, though the Ur S-4/6 seats are right  
up there, too :-)
