Hopefully I'll be in a relatively interesting vehicle, maybe a Panther of my own, we can JO but no gay poo poo.

I found this whilst looking at Honda Beats. It's got quite a backstory... http://www.kgfclassiccars.co.uk/details.php?cid=295 quote:An incredible story befitting an incredible car! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vxwlTwrlY0

There's gotta be a reason why all of our handling and suspension goodies come from Australia of all places, I guess.

Your enjoyment of the Mighty Boosh is completely based on whether you want to strangle Noel Fielding or not after watching for five minutes.

Starter failed. It makes the most godawful I'm eating myself alive internally noise trying to crank over. The plus side, I can bump start it easier than any other car I've ever owned, even from full cold in the morning!

It only weighs six ounces. I'm not surprised you can lean start it.

On small, light cars, you can learn to get the car moving fast enough by pushing it, run to the door, jump in and bump it without assistance. Comes with a distinct risk of unintended ghost riding, but it is possible.

On flat ground (in Florida? I know) I can usually push-start the Protege when needed just by pushing on the door sill. Comes with the added bonus of being able to hold the steering wheel straight, and it's a hell of a lot easier to hop in the seat once you're going fast enough. We had to help a guy push start a car once (well, several times) when I was at Sears. Dude wanted to do it himself, so we pushed it with him sitting in it. 4 times in a row, he let the clutch out too slow, so instead of turning the engine over it just locked the wheels and skidded to a stop; he kept saying "I don't know, man, I think the clutch is worn out." I finally told him to GTFO, we pushed it one more time and I got it popped the first time. One of those "America need better driver training" moments.

It's easy as poo poo with light cars. 8ender posted:Adapt a kickstarter from a 70's Goldwing and problem solved Looking at the starter on the 1978 Goldwing sitting in my garage, I have a feeling it's much too big for this application.

The phrase is "pop the clutch" because you pop that motherfucker quick. Armed with only this knowledge I successfully pop started my car the first time I tried it.

In high school my old Volvo kept going through generators, and during the periods when they weren't working I got awfully good at popping the clutch. I even did it in reverse a couple times

Before I knew what car maintenance was all about I must have push-started my MX-3 10-15 times. I once push started it in my apartment's gravel lot which was only about 40'x40' with a little help. It was nerve-wracking but I got it running.

I popstarted my bike for about 6 months before I decided to buy a new battery. Now a 2.5 ton truck? yeah nope. you'll drop your nuts on the pavement before moving that hunk of metal.

For a few months I used to only park facing downhill on the nearest steepest hill. It's hard when you live in the prairies, sometimes I backed into peoples' driveways just to get some of that sweet sweet slope.

I even did it in reverse a couple times Reverse typically has the shortest gear (even shorter than 1st) - so it's most likely to spin the engine over when you pop the clutch, if you have enough momentum. If you don't have enough momentum, it's the most likely to just lock up the wheels. I've tried to roll start the Ion down a hill a couple of times for giggles, even with a full battery. It'll start, but either it'll run fine, or the throttle doesn't respond at all. If the throttle doesn't respond, it starts around 1500 RPM (cold idle is 1100), and it slowly drops until it dies.  drat COMPUTERS  Humbug Scoolbus posted:Your enjoyment of the Mighty Boosh is completely based on whether you want to strangle Noel Fielding or not after watching for five minutes.
