What a memory, my grandfather’s Santana! If it was a little cold it would never start on the first try…

Thanks for bringing this back :)

Those are not exactly good memories. Starting an engine should not require sensibility, skills and know a few incantations to convince the engine.
I was a child so it always seemed funny to me. My uncle trying to make it start, failing, “No it is not like that, step out let me do it”, then my grandfather tried, nothing, a little push, a little mumbojumbo, try again… it was a magic ritual!
