Understand that some cars with 4-wheel drive had to be towed out...?

Always find it amusing to see a 'Chelsea tractor' type 4X4 with stupid wide, shallow treaded tyres, stuck just as solid as any two-wheel drive job.

Mine made it out of the grass field, but not the stubble that I went on first thing this morning. I think mine was about the only 4x4 without off road tyres, & towing a trailer to make it out of the grass field under its own power as it was uphill all the way out and a couple of people had made a right mess in the gate hole spinning their wheels and digging in, rather than waiting for a tow.

Thanks for the pics, looks a good turn out considering the weather.

Yes your car/trailer combo made it out but you were not driving it.

You and me as well Neil, if anyone has a one spare there is a Mar-vil and possibly some cash here for a swap,

Mar-vill has a new home so no longer available

Got a sneaky feeling it would need to be more than a little cash, should you actually find one.

The one pictured is one of two that come up with every google search.
