        Mmmmm...yah.  I was going to do this in my scirocco 1 but the more I
considered it the more I am not sure what to do now.
        I don't want to do it because it will be hitting passengers in the
knee/leg.  If you don't carry others then go ahead and do it.   I am trying
to figure out a "best fit" placement because I don't want to give up my
little cubby hole in the console.  I guess I am a pack rat, but on race day
I really say some choice words to myself as I am cleaning all the crap out....
