Many years ago when we bought an 80 MG Midget with a gimpy started for
our son to drive to high school when he had soccer practice. He was
worried about what would happen if the starter failed. I told him not
to worry he would have to fight the people away if he needed a push
start. He doubted me until the first time it would not start & he had
6 guys pushing him! Besides at the time we lived in Pittsburgh where
it is really hard not to park on a hill!!! :-)
