What's your point ?

My point was that it was a stupid suggestion. I thought that was clear

The battery on my Golf Mk II 1600 Auto has twice gone flat within a week

so.
Get a solar powered trickle charger, which plugs in to the cigarette
lighter. Since you can't push start an automatic, a good starting system
is vital.

Yeah - right!
If it is working OK - you DONT need one of those stupid things

Funny story...

Some years ago the neighbour of a friend of mine couldn't start his car one
frosty morning. As he was trying it, another neighbour, a young woman, asked
if she could help. Thinking about the problem they decided that he would put
a blanket over the back bumper and that she would use her car to push start
him. Good idea! He went on to tell her that his car was an automatic and
that she would therefore need to be doing 25 mph or so in order to get it
going. She went to her car, drove up the road to turn round and then came
beetling back towards him at high speed, crashing into his car. After the
dust had settled and the ambulances had left she told him it was his fault,
he had said "at more than 25 to get it started".
