I am 6 foot and have yet to find an elegant means of entry and exit with the hood on.

I try to point the car downhill so the doors stay open. My entry technique is to get my left leg in followed by my rump, whilst remembering that my head in these circumstances also prefers to be on the inside, then a heave ho with my arm on my right leg which allows the knee of my trouser to be checked for dust and/or abrasions. Exiting is easier - it can best be described as falling out whilst trying not to end up either on my face or sitting on the road.

Apart from the obvious joy of having the roof off, getting in and out is another good reason for going out in good weather.
