My '68 Renault R-10 has a starting handle. I think the R-10
was made until '72. The starting handle is also the scissor
jack handle. You have to remember this is on an automobile
where the fuel filler cap is in the engine compartment(!)
just a foot and a half away from the exhaust manifold(!!). Of
course to correctly fuel this car you have to leave the engine
running and be smoking a Gitane. And look absolutely *bored*.
"Award yourself 200 ponts if the car is French. You
deserve it." -Peter Egan
I never thought I'd find a real reason to keep the R-10, but
the SCCA has gone and sanctioned RallyCross.
