Borrowed a friends old alum body land rover that had a hand crank and a magneto ignition.
That stupid little thing was fun.
That takes me back! For a job I had in the '80s I drove a '62 Landrover and it had a crank.
I needed the crank too -- the vehicle still had the original "
Lucas -- Prince of Darkness" electrical system that the Brits are so famous for.
Say, perhaps I should include some Lucas jokes here:
� The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark."
� Lucas is the patent holder for the short circuit.
� Lucas - Inventor of the first intermittent wiper.
� Lucas - Inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.
� The three position Lucas switch - Dim, Flicker and Off.
� The Original Anti-Theft Device - Lucas Electrics.
� If Lucas made guns, wars would not start.
� Back in the 70's, Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which did not suck.
Thread highjack over...
