Yeah i was at uni and i came back to my car, tryed to start it and nothing but a click. Turns out i left my lights on I was kinda worried for a second cuz i have no credit on my fone to call racq. Then i relized that my car only weighs 950kg (somin like that). So i began to push my car, up a speed bump first, then we got faster and my suzi almost got away from me before i jumped in and off we went. Kinda made me relize why i bought a suzi and why there such awsome cars.
Well, that made my day so i thought id post it here, dont know why though...
Myself and a workmate (Sharkey on these forums) pushed my Sierra up a carpark ramp after I stalled it (doh) getting a ticket through the boomgate. Was about a 10% gradient which doesn't sound like much til you're pushing dead weight up it

If you're at UQ, just call security, they'll come jumpstart you faster than RACQ can get there...

jump starting with a battery pack is handy (best investment for me )
i was thinking of a headlight reminder would be good also. only like 20 bucks from Jaycar
The only time my battery died on me, I was parked in shopping centre carpark, that was 100% level, at 4am. Anyone know how to deal with this situation (besides jump starting that is)??? Difficult problem to solve to my mind (I eventually called dad to jump start me, I cheated).

U tried Suzisport for that hardtop yet?
Yes and No.
Yes I saw them about it, had a good discussion with Graham. No I didn't go back to get it, yet. I have nothing against it, I had organised to take dad down to check it out (I cannot fibreglass due to health reasons); and the washing machine died that morning, so he 're-prioritised'.
Wheeling on completely wicked angles, without even looking stable.
