My date of birth is 1956, so I’ll be 62 in Dec. My wife says 12 so you are much older than I am.

Once this past winter I had to use it because she had my car because she couldn't get into hers... I had to climb in on the passenger side and shinny over to the driver's side. I'm only 5'10" and 185 but at 65 it was a bit of a challenge! Good thing I had that knee surgery 15 years ago...

I restored a factory hardtop for my present Bugeye, but I had to sell it because it is impossible for me to get in or out with that ever shrinking opening.
