I have! It was at Triumphest in Ventura-we were doing the Le Mans
start and they had one guy timing and another guy hold the door
open for the competitor. I had said that I didn'treally need
anyone to hold the door for me-but they insisted. So we watched
the clock come around and I ran out to the car and when I
arrived-Izzy closed the door! So I jumped!-and took off-it was one
of my better times that I made in that event!
When my drivers side door was stuck, a couple of winters ago, I
used to jump out with quite a flourish-usually dressed in aviator
jacket and boots! Until, one morning-one bright, cold, cold
morning I was at the car wash and I jumped out -and EVERYONE was
there-but my foot caught on the seat belt and my shins made
contact with the top of the door and I landed on my knee and
hands. OUCH!!! My knee didn't even bruise-but it SWELLED! Quite
large and quite painful. I went limping into Dave's (afer the car
was all clean and shiny). Dave took a look at me and said,"I think
it's time to fix that door." Actually, the guy who owned the car
wash had called and told him.
Nowadays, I jump in and out every so often-to "keep my hand in"!
BTW-it's hell on the upholstry.
