Not in the S2K (because my wife doesn't drive it) but Sylvia does have a habit of leaving the driver's sun visor down when she gets out of her Civic so, when I get in to drive .. ouch! Bl**dy painful.

Glad to lighten everyone's day

If you're lucky, I'll still have Red Eye at MM1 - or maybe it'll go brown by then.

Trying to squeeze in the driver's seat when some t**t had parked too close to me, had to practically double up to get in and pulled a muscle in my leg as I was trying to manoeuvre myself behind the wheel.

Does that mean you are going to show everyone your brown eye Useful?

I had this problem on a car ferry recently, but solved it by leaning through the window, dropping the top, then climbing in.

Just like the Dukes of Hazzard

Was raining at the time, so didn't want to get top down and haste at getting in probably contributed to said injury.

Well I was squeezing past the S on Sunday and tripped over the car jack........

Just managed to break my fall and avoided hitting the gravel with my nose but I still ended up flat out and with most of the the air knocked out of me.

You get a different perspective one inch off the ground.

Boy was I glad no-one saw.

When I first got the car I'd frequently shin myself under the dash on my left leg getting in. Hasn't happened recently, obviously hurt so much I've learnt.
I've tried to cut myself in half leaning in through the window putting the top up and bringing the roof down on my back too. Must have looked pretty dumb
