I must agree. I have a Series II, and while it's very cool, the one thing
that just drives me nuts about it is the unbelievably pathetic excuse for a
trunk. The original seats suck too, if you're at all tall. Fortunately, the
guy I bought mine from replaced the seats with the newer style. Otherwise
it would be undriveable. (I'm 6'2", and my understanding is that the
original seats don't recline, which results in your forehead being directly
in the bug stream) If I was going to buy another one, I'm pretty sure I'd
be looking for a Series III.
Gotta love those fins!
Later,
