the first vehicle i ever drove was one of these,a drop side lorry one,was about 16 and worked on a farm used to drive it all over the fields and on the lanes around the farm,the trick was when the bloke that normally drove it got in i used to sit in the passenger seat and pull the stop button out and trap it with my ankle,cause it comes out just in front of the seat,talk about laugh when she wouldnt start,i think it eventually got me a kicking when he realised but it was worth it for the laugh
