average build of a lambo owner?

[Rocco1]

How many of Lambo owners with scissor doors are of a large build,and how do you find getting in and out of your car.I for one hate getting in and out of mine and i am a medium build!

[ok1]

Would that not also depend on how athletic one is. There are big guys who are lardy and big guys who are athletes, the likes of Dennis Rodman and alot of the other NFL players ect.

I find the fall in roll out technique works for me .

[franki68]

I'm a lean mean fighting machine (cough) ! And I struggle getting in and out of the gallardo.

[Jonboy_t]

I would never get out of it if I had one. Ever.

5'10' medium 12stone

any bigger and i doubt i could get in Countach

as said getting in

• door up
• fall in arse first
• swing legs in
• sit like praying mantis

getting out

• right leg out
• then fall out sideways onto pavement

Ha haaa. That made me chortle.
I was waiting to see how long before that came up. I guess the next topic might be...... "How many owners are company directors".
Lol

I'm 6 foot and 17 stone, I get in to the Murcielago OK. Once in, I actually find it quite comfortable.

I put my left leg right in the far corner of the footwell and then sort of twist and squat and duck my head under the door frame. All in all, I wouldn't say its graceful but its not too embarrassing either. HTH

[Rocco1]

is the murcielago/aventador any easier to get in and out?

I don't think I'd be left with any choice once I was in! I'm 6'4" and <ahem> a few stone. I find it a little uncomfortable getting into my M3 sometimes due to a bad back so I think a Lambo would kill me! Shame, was just on the cusp of buying one too.....

Not as slim good looking fast or athletic as a Ferrari

[graemel]

6'2". 80kg. Medium build. Never given it much thought. Arse in seat first and swing legs over cill carefully to not scuff. Same procedure getting out but legs not arse first. Same for Countach, Diablo and Mucielago. Even with crash helmet on in Countach and Murci it was fine. Agreed not the easiest of cars to get in and out of but that's part of the mistique.
Bloody site easier than a roll caged 911. I remember yonks ago in my first race going 911 parking at TJ's with the missus, Owned the car for about a week. Everyone looking at the car out of the window. Missus gets out fine. Me prat trying to be cool slips getting out and lands arse first on the ground. A few people applauded when we walked in. One of those moments that you wanted the ground to open and swallow you up.

I am 54 fairly agile ( possibly a lie) 5 11 and about 80kg. Min problem is getting in my countach wearing a crash helmet. I put mine on in the car and have to adjust the seat to wear it around circuits.
Otherwise what Tim said about getting in and out is right. Just takes practice
My wife once tried getting out putting both feet out and got kind off stranded! Luckily she wasnt wearring a short skirt!

[Gulzar]

6ft1" and 110kg the LP640 isnt the easier to get in/out and very annoying when wearing a smart suite always coming out looking ruffled up! In normal clothes...I usually always let out a little moan as I strain to get out but if I wanted comfort a lambo is not what youd be driving!

I agree im not as fast as a ferrari,but im definitely slimmer,possibly better looking have to check on that,and far more athletic ,have you seen a ferrari do 20 pull ups ?

I once saw an episode of Cribs where Dave Batista (6'6" WWE wrestler - an absolute monster of a man) had a white Murci. He'd had to have the seat rails changed so he would fit, yet he squeezed in and out ok, saying how much he loved the car.

I guess you put up with certain quirks when you love something.
