there's a few reasons i'd have a front like that.. aside from drool factor, accessability, yes there's more room in a clubman front but the rad's still a pain, some other things that are a pain to get to when you've got catchers mits for hands too... :lol: also, if i had the money and time to do it, i don't think i'd need more of a reason than ... Drooool... 8)
