Car Starting With Flat Battery

[bullfist]

I found this in a 50th year commemorative magazine insert.

 

Jack up one of the driving wheels. Engage top gear. Turn the free wheel back until compression is felt. Switch on. Give a flick forward and, if you are in luck, the engine will fire.

 

There is obviously an element of danger here, so I will have to say: do not try this!
