Loads of muppets wheel spinning and going nowhere and us pottering about on tickover !
Its auto which helps but still... ? Road tyres and 2wd !

Used to do the same with our Punto TD (mark 1) when it snowed.
So long as it wasn't too steep, or deep, I'd just drive past all the 'poser owned' 4x4's, who were sitting there in 2wd.
Used to get some really nasty looks, could've have been the fact that I wa laughing at them though??

We towed three caravans and a VW combi off wet and muddy camp site pitches in France a couple of years ago, front wheel drive cars with a caravan plus wet grass = no traction!
Thats why we have the Frontera as our tow car and a Rangie for fun!
We renamed our Frontera Thunderbird 2 that holiday!
One dutch guy was amazed we couild pull his van and car together -diesel plus low box no problem!
On a previous holiday we rescued a caravan for a Granada driver so the next day he invited us for a few drinks, as we sat outside we watched a snooty family in a BMW get their outfit stuck on the grass-despite being advised by the receptionist to park on the hardstandings!! :x
They then went and moaned at her so she conveniently forgot sher could speak english! :D
They asked me to tow them out but we had been drinking (quite a bit!)but said we would do it in the morning!!
A nice man with a Disco pulled the wjhole outfit oot with much mick taking from all concerned!!! :roll: His comment "you want to get a decent towcar mate!"
