front crossmember
sump
exhaust
floorpan either side
rear diff

All bent and dented

Questioned the punter, he says
'we went green laning at the weekend, heard a bump or two when recovering a friends stuck car'
ChrisW:
Thats the lane Chris9119 and myself went to recover a couple of lads in a 110 Hi-Cap (that they had got stuck the day before) from over Christmas :roll:
We had to winch 3 times and that was just to get to where they had got stuck.
Then about 20 TRF riders came past moaning about stupid off roaders chewing the byway up (this from men on motorbikes riding OFF the byway chewing land up) at least they were patient and waited for us to get out of their way (NOT!).
Had a local chap come down in his 90 to try and play... er I mean help too.
"Responsible use" obviously is a phrase people down that way are not familiar with. :(

What you all needed was a tirfor! That would have helped alot i that situtation me thinks.
I rescued Matt_H from the phot in the link below after he slid side ways into the ditch. If I didnt have me tirfor I dont know how we would have got him out as the tirfor was able to pull him at a 90 degree angle to the ditch and his winch pulled him forward.
