I forgot how to start my carI had this very old Opel Kadett, which I drove for nearly 200000km in total. Towards the end of its lifetime something embarrassingly stupid happened. I was away on holiday for 6 weeks in Canada, driving a shining new Nissan Patrol. Came back and wanted to start my old car - and simply forgot that the bloody thing had a choke - which you needed to operate in order to cold start it. Since the fuel gauge was down to nearly 0 I assumed it had run out of fuel (while I was away ?!?). Called my sisters to bring some fuel, and when she finally arrived the word "CHOKE" materialized in my brain. In capital letters approx. 5 miles high. Oh the shame.
Length? It was considerably shorter than the Nissan Patrol.
