Starting a car with a car battery charger...

[kalniel]

I've always bump started in 2nd gear as well, just because that's what I was alays told....and it's never let me down.

Gives the engine more torque I guess, more likely to turn. Just need enough speed at the wheels.

I've only been bump started in reverse, which seems to work really well.

Wasn't really that epic so I ignored (especially as bumper is one of the original contributors).

I just wanted to post a lolcats picture

Some good tips here to be fair
