A friend of a friend has a Ford 'T' flatbed truck that he starts by altering the ignition timing control, learned the technique from watching the actor Stan Laurel start a similar model in one of the Laurel and Hardy films.
Mum followed him one day along the Norwich southern bypass, even that old thing could do nearly 70mph... (The model T, not mum
)
