18" front & 16" rear, but I'm looking at outboard CV's for 2006 which will give me about 20" rear

Ok i know this is going to sound stupid, but i have enough trouble getting into a old class 4 car, but how are you meant to get into that thing? does the roof open up?

I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
