bad back / hip and the s
Ive got a bad back and hip at the moment (agony.. ) sitting 'in' the s is not to bad but getting in and out is trickier than i though - any tips or suggestions , or anyone else suffer in silence like me ?

i sometimes get a stiff back, and find if i leaver myself out the car half way; 1 foot out on ground with only heel touching the ground, pull myself (with back straight) onto the sill and then pull myself up and out holding onto the windscreen.
not exactly an easy way to get out, but saves bending the lower back...

I get hip ache if I'm driving the S for more than 250 miles
Turning your heated seats on is a great way to keep your lower back muscles supple.
I also find getting in/out with the roof down is much easier. Avoid any 'twisting' action of your body as this can send muscles into spasm if you have problems.
