PROOF THAT 4X4`S ARE USEFUL

If that was me I would have walked away.

A 'Yellowstrap' one - speak to DavidLandy on here, excellent pieces of kit.
Ja1983:
Pickup recoveries:
1 ford fiesta - boy racers should stick to tarmac, not wet fields!
1 vauxhall astra - mates, formely my car! gearbox shagged.
Fourtrack recoveries:
1 corsa - see above for fiesta!
1 kaputt vitara - "the shed" (now not so proud owner of the aforementioned astra!)
2 LR 110`s, water board, rather serious weather... this following the infamous "drifted incident" just a few hundred yards away!
1 tree stump - in the garden, though wonder if... then there was soil/rocks/wood everywhere! :lol:
1 stripped/abandoned fiesta - some chavs had been rallying it but left it at the sumit of a nice hill... so it was gently "head butted" out of the way.
other acts of kindness..
my pickup is used as a dining table/dusbin/seating at many social events. i will also glady assist any other unfortunate individual where i can, as i would hope that someay they would return the favour. :D
i also remember towing in a ford granada (size of a small dwelling) using my nova SR..... it struggled initially.. but i knew then where my place in society lay :lol:

I'd have been tempted to push him back into the ditch :wink: he obviously had no manners!

Last time I went out with GLASS CAMBS in the summer we were on a lane over by the Santa Pod race circuit where there was a VW show on. We found a young couple who had tried to drive down the lane for a bit of "privacy" the evening before and they'd had to spend the night in the car. After freeing them from the ruts we ecorted them off the lane where the nice young lad tried to pay us - bless.
What it must be like to be young and in lust again!!!
