Do you alert the paparazzi in case you might accidentally forget to wear your panties that day!
Nope, I just keep my legs closed...

Being a 'bird' this is the way I do it - slide in and swing legs round - not so dainty if I'm wearing jeans but if a skirt/dress then it's a must!!!

Same for getting out - legs swung round and hoist myself out as elegantly as possible (depending how far I can open the door).

Have had a couple of skirt lifting moments and provided members of the public with a bit too much of a leg flash

Definitely need to be careful when wearing jeans as the little studs on them can break the leather when you swivel this happened to me in my Mini.

Run up from behind the car, place hands on bootlid, somersault gracefully into the seat. Don't do it in a skirt.

Sounds a bit too athletic for me, maybe 25 years ago I would have tried it!

Oh yeah, don't do it with the roof up either.

I haven't tried it, but one day I really must. Preferably before I lose the ability to do handsprings. I'll try to remember to have a good look at the car tomorrow, just to make sure it's feasible.

I bought a cheap seat cover which I use when working in and around the car and moving it on and off the drive.
Also use it if not bothered about aesthetics and not expecting the car to be noticed whilst I'm using it or when arriving at a destination.

If you can get in an Elise I'm damn sure I can handspring into an S without any trouble.

Getting into an S2000 is very much like making love to a beautiful lady.. You've got to slowly prize the old girl open, put your hands firmly on a stable suface, contort yourself into the most agreeable angle and slip yourself in.
