I knew a chap many moons ago who had a Tipsy Nipper and he used to start it just as you describe. One day he forgot about the chocks and off she went. He ended up hanging on to one of the wingtips with the Nipper going round in circles. He rapidly became dizzy and finally let go. The Nipper's further progress was firmly halted when it embedded itself in his new car!
