I am 6ft3 to this day my wife still jokes about when i got stuck in the 944!

Yes a bonnet def fits in the back, randomly it won't fit in a lot of big estates!

I put said bonnet in car with drivers seat quite far forward, got in, stopped a light and the bonnet slid forward just an inch. It some how managed to jam the seat which I couldnt slide back to get out, was pretty panicky for a bit!
