[QUOTE="JWL, post: 7701879, member: 47116"] Mate of mine runs a vehicle recovery business and gave me a call this evening to see if I was busy. He had been called out to a wedding venue where a guest had managed to slip off a concrete road in his BMW and couldn't get it back onto the track. It was only a couple of miles away so up I went in the trusty Defender. The chap had got it well and truly stuck, nose down in a 5' gully at right angles to the concrete road. Mates van parked on the road so I went to drive round it and promptly sunk the Defender deep enough on one side to the point where I could just about open the door to get out. Got the winch on the bumper fired up, attached the rope to a substantial straining post 20 yards away and just about got myself out. At least I didn't have to get rescued which would have caused a great deal of amusement to the gathering crowd of wedding party guests and my mate was glad he hadn't brought his 10t recovery truck down there as that wouldn't have had any room to work. We then set to and pulled the Beemer out and spent a half hour filling in the trenches back in that I had made in the venue owners recently landscaped area that turned out to be a recently filled in pond. Still we all ended up with the venue owner coming out with some huge pig roast baps for me, the other half who had done a runner out of the motor when I got stuck and my mate. Free tea and what else would you be doing in an evening? [/QUOTE]
