+1. After four months I haven't mastered it with dignity. Instead I have focused on checking no one is watching before exiting

Hi OP, and welcome from a fellow Coupe owner!

Both car and roads look fantastic - shame roads around this part of the world are only that quiet when it is dark.

I only have a struggle getting in or out when I can't get the door open far, but then there I am no powerfully-built company director.

Lovely Zed and it sounds like it's underneath your skin already.

For getting in and out I find a hand on the sill pushing you out of the seat with one leg out works.

Lovely Z, Getting in backside on seat then swing both legs in, Getting out both legs out then as AlfaScozzesi says a hand on the sill pushing yourself out, i'm sixty five and the lads at work have all been giving me stick for buying my z, but I've got getting in and out off to a fine art

Nice Zed!
I found this at first, try holding the nozzle at a slight angle from one side. You'll soon get the knack of it.

Thanks guys!

StuartH, I will check out those roads you mentioned around Holmfirth. Although it's not that far from here, it's not an area I've explored yet. Anywhere with a nice smooth road sounds good to me!

Thanks also to those posting their tips to get out of the car without slipping a disc

I'm sure I'll manage with practice, getting in is easy enough.

And finally the fuel issue. Have tried angling the nozzle as suggested by Scott202, which did help, but still shut off quite frequently. Usually I use my local Sainsburys, but tried a Shell station when I was out, and had less of a problem there filling her up.
Looks like the pump nozzles make a difference.

I need some urgent help.
How do I get rid of those dark grey fluffy things in the sky, that are leaking to go away??

They happen if you drive too slowly. Speed up a bit and they go away.
