How difficult.

Afternoon all.

How difficult is it to get out of a caterham with the roof on??

I’m 6ft 4. Obviously I have no problem with the roof off. But it crossed my mind weirdly today as I put my exige up for sale.

I haven’t actually tried .... clearly I’ve not thought it through... ha ha.

Edit, obviously the roof would only be on if I was caught in a downpour.

But I guess it needs addressing. Quick release may help I guess.

Suck it and see I reckon. It could be an interesting trip to bookatrack to find out. No doubt the wife will film it to embarrass me into getting a v6 instead. But when your minds made up.....

Details like a roof are not important.

You lead with your left leg, duck down and enter head first, twist and bring you right leg in, in the gap between the steering wheel and cill, before dropping into the seat and settling down ready to go. As you bring your knee upto your chest, take care to avoid striking the flasher switch with your toe cap. Simples !

What I do find difficult is explaining why it is necessary to bury your head into your lady passengers lap or cleavage without suggesting impropriety, all as part of entry to get sufficient room.

2011 K, S3, lowered floors and removable steering wheel.

I think getting in would be easier. What’s the process for exiting.

Like a lotus, once you get the knack or your way of doing it it’s easy.

Knowing my luck it would be the first time trying in front of a pub full of people. :-/

Ha ha, cheers Kurt..

I must have done my research because a half hood was high on the must buy things.

Yep, she’s up for sale. I haven’t had second thoughts yet either. You only live once and all that.

Hope you are well mate.. :-)
