She’s been struggling for a few years now but it came to a point last week when she stumbled backwards trying to get up to the Audi. No harm done as she fell into me but her confidence has gone. Tried wifeys BMW 4 series and the seats are too bolstered for her to get out and the same with the previous Mini Cooper, even using one of the door hook aids. She can get in the mini easily and out of the Audi (using the handle hook thing) but that’s not much help.
Leaving at car at hers isn’t really an option, no off street parking and inner city concerns! And we have 5 cars and 6 is two too many in wifey’s eyes. Sister in law has a Jazz and mum is fantastic in it and she was great getting in and out of the Morris Minors I had!
So I think I need something that’s normal car height with unbolstered seats for mum but is a convertible with a bit of sporting interest for me. As a bonus wifey has said that she quite likes the idea of a touring trip around Scotland in a ‘normal car convertible ‘.
