... given the low compression turbocharged motor (IMO) the urq is a prime 
candidate for bump starting ... when Arun, ol' 222 and I were at Devil's 
Playground those years ago, the engine wouldn't fire on the starter even 
after cooling off for the day.  Thanks to the gravitational poetntial energy 
we had built up we had no problems getting her started with a very short 
roll.  I'm not one for a tow rope, but you can rest assured that it will not 
damage the driveline if you decide to use one.  My approach is to make sure 
to park at the top of any hill in the area where I decide to park ... ;-)
