My Elise has killed...

[gooby]

...my jeans.
Because I am "less than elegant" when I get out especially after a long run, I caught and ripped my jeans on the door catch.

Now my Mrs Gooby can check if I have changed my pants by lifting up my shirt!

...got to get down to GAP!

[iccees]

I ripped a pair getting in mine the other day on the door catch BEFORE going out so, had to go back in the house and change into a new pair. I'm only glad it happend when it did, couldn't face walking round all day with me arse hanging out

A few months ago I was down at the dealers sorting my order out and thought I'd practice a few entries and exits on an Exige they had in the showroom. Attempting a slow contorted entry there was a loud embarrassing rip sound followed by a swift exit from the building!


There is a definite knack to getting in and out which I have now mastered however, I went to get into the passengers side of a mates Elise (roof on) and found I was back to square one again (It was a real struggle). The two sides require very different techniques and muscles.

I ripped to belt hoop in the door stud on 5 pairs of jeans getting into my old Elise!
It's the secret dress code of the Elise world...

That car has quite a kill ratio. You sure you didn't call it "Christine" ?

Wouldn't be the first time you've had your shirt lifted eh?!

Yeah I've lost a sleeve and several slices of skin on that door catch.

Yep I looked a proper fool trying to get in the passenger side of my own car last week when I let a friend sit in the driver's seat.
