Key on the left – Why is the ignition lock on the Porsche to the left of the steering wheel?
The position of the ignition switch can be traced back to the beginnings of the infamous 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. At the start in Le Mans, which was introduced in 1925, it was customary for the participating racing drivers to stand a few meters away from their car and walk to the car by signal before the start was given. To ensure that the starting procedure could be carried out as quickly as possible and no time was wasted, Porsche engineers eventually installed the start button to the left of the steering wheel. This allowed the racing drivers to start the car as soon as they got in. This method of starting has not been used at Le Mans since 1971, but Porsche has retained the position of the ignition switch to the left of the steering wheel. It is now legendary and always causes confusion for Porsche newcomers at the start. Incidentally, there is also the story that the starter was moved to the left-hand side to save costs due to a shortage of materials (cables). It was only later during the races that it was realized that this was also an advantage. But let’s be honest, the Le Mans story is much cooler, isn’t it?
Our model (with cap) is 183 cm tall and wears a size L.
Important note on this product: Conventional textiles contain many harmful substances that are absorbed through the skin. We have therefore decided to produce our textile products as sustainably as possible. Our fabrics are therefore produced according to the strict GOTS criteria. However, this also means that our sweaters and hoodies fluff a little before the first few washes. This is because we use a mechanical and not a chemical process to roughen the inside. This protects the environment and makes the fabric particularly soft, but some loose fluff still remains. These become less with each wash and after 3-4 gentle washes, the small disadvantage has resolved itself.
+ Machine wash at 30°C, not only gentle on the environment but also on your garment.
+ You should wash your laundry inside out . With every wash cycle, garments rub against each other and therefore always lose some color and material – you can see this especially at the seams and edges.
+ Save yourself the dryer and give your clothes fresh air on the clothesline – wind is known to be the best fabric softener substitute. But make sure you don’t leave your products hanging in the sun directly or for too long so that they don’t fade.
The textile industry is one of the world’s biggest polluters. Exploitative working conditions and minimum wages are unfortunately still the order of the day. Therefore: Our textile products are produced under fair and sustainable conditions in Europe. Our supplier guarantees fair working conditions and wages, shorter delivery distances and sustainable materials.
