Hello, I’m Victor101, I’m passionate about car cranking, particularly watching ladies having cold and damp start problems with old UK and European cars, preferably from the 60s and 70s. I’ve got a massive thing about cars with squishy vinyl seats that crease nicely when sat on. I love the sound of an old starter motor with that lovely whirring overrun noise after each failed attempt to start. My ultimate dream would be to witness a damsel in distress wearing a formal blouse and skirt combination or secretary suit attempting to start her cold car on a work morning, not necessarily pedal pumping but gently coaxing and begging the old car to start while working the manual choke, wonderful! I would love an old car myself with vinyl seats so i could have some car won’t start scenarios myself

Hello there, yeah I just love the formal look of a lady in a crisp white or satin shirt, skirt or suit trousers. When I first met my girlfriend (now wife) in the mid 80s she drove an ancient Wolseley 1300, bought cheap from her brother after she passed her test. She worked as a junior hotel receptionist at a local (then posh) hotel at the time and wore a very smart uniform, ladies blazer and skirt over a crisp white blouse. At the time she worked early shifts and I worked late shifts so I could witness her sometimes struggling to start the old car before work on cold/damp winter mornings, I had a great view from our slightly open bathroom window and she had no idea I was watching ? to be honest the old car usually started first time on warm mornings but in the deepest winter it used to play up; particularly if it had been standing after her days off. It quite often used to take up to 10-15 tries which she seemed to just accept as it was an old car, her technique was particularly sexy, if the car didn’t go after 3/4 goes she gave it a long rest before trying again, lovely ? my vantage point was good as I could see her turning the key and adjusting the choke. The car had a wonderful slightly worn squashy vinyl drivers seat which I loved as well, great memories ?

Hi there, welcome! That's certainly a bit of nostalgia. You're certainly in good company looking to recreate scenes from the past, and albeit to a slightly lesser extent, wishing to experience it for yourself. That's pretty common. Certainly things are a lot different now to what they were back in those days but I can definitely appreciate a smartly dressed lady behind the wheel having a hard time, especially if she's patient and sticks with it!
