Happy V8 Christmas!

The idea there was to use a poll and then low range in the disco just to make sure I'm in control as I don't have a helper then once I'd run round a little either try it on the starter or drag it to the hill and attempt to bump start it under its own power

Might need to try and get a helper if its easier the other way



Don't plan on letting it stop either going to make sure my temp gauge is working and that its topped up with coolant first and fuel

Just thought V8 fans would like this (ignore the sound at the start, thats the doozal 90 that pulled it out)....
It demonstrates how bad rear wheel drive only is too (the front diff had broke..shortly followed by the rear lol)
Sounds good tho.....A classic case of me saying, it wont do that in rear only, and telling mate to attempt it whilst I film and laugh m head off!!
Was great fun.....

FFS evil you NEED a helper or it could go badly wrong, plus the man in the towed car is working hard to get the engine running!!

It's a 2 man job, end of. Please don't attempt it on your own, plus bump starting down a hill is handy but not as good as a tow cos with a tow you can keep on dragging it whilst its going a chuga chug chug a chuga chug chug whereas with a bump start it will just stop on the hill after you lift the clutch!

there's plenty of folk on here Im sure be happy to help pull it along for ya

this gives me an idea for next christmas lets all meet at dr's and give him a great xmas by starting that v8 for him. p.s. noisy is right imo.

Bugger.

Will attempt to get hold of a helper then

Nope, still not working, just takes me to news feed.

Perhaps cos we're not friends on facebook?

works for me and I don't have him on fb

it's a short movie I made public, so don't need to be freinds on fb to view....Open another window, sign in to your facebook account, then click on the link.

Nope, just getting a redirect. Assume it's because I'm on mobile!

I've tried using the desktop site but the link just takes me back to the mobile site.

Shall I add you?!
