I think she will partake, just have to fake bribe her. Or get her to help you push it and then just jump in as soon as its rolling

Looking very smart it feels like it's coming to life once the lights switch on. Mine was off the road 22 years.(I was 4 when my was taken off the road lol) It's a great sense of achievement when it's all done and dusted.a credit to you.
