Mark (smokey mow) Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Only trouble is the idea of having a roof is to keep dry - then you get saoked when you roll around on the tarmac getting out I only get out for petrol stations and they all have roofs over them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Podmore Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Left leg in, followed one one gravity aided and unstoppable movement of backside, shoulders and head, with right leg last in. Gracious it's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbaldbloke Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 A few years back I drove over to Cambridge to look at possibly buying a Ginetta G15. When I turned up it was fitted with a full internal cage that half filled the door space. We looked round the car, the young racing snake that was selling it slipped into the drivers seat and said let's go for a drive....and I couldn't get in....absolutely no way....embarrassed or what...

KugaWestie Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Dignified isn't an option if you are a bit large. My diet isn't going very well but is still going. I can't bend like I could when I was younger but can still get in and out. Its all in the mind and better than getting wet. You should also not park too close to anything as it will impede your exit but may shield you from being videoed for You've been framed. Steering wheel made such a big difference, and with the famous lecky mirrors you don' have to get out to do them - Gary star job that one. Bob The mirrors has to be credited to smokeymow - his idea, I just fitted them while he was busy filling his garage up with half built cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Dastardly Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Watching this one with interest. I'm a couple of inches taller than Gary so think a zip in the roof may be the answer for me, even if it lets a drip in now and then.

fatbaldbloke Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Seriously though, open the door flap, walk backwards at least 10 paces (probably best to mark out your run up after you've found the optimum), run at the door and at the last minute tuck your head down and your knees up into the tucked position, et voila, you're in.....
