I got my truck stuck today

stevecrm · 03-10-2010, 20:53

My car is oficially off of the road, no MOT (should be sorted by next weekend) and no Tax either.

I broke one of the 4x4 rules by offroading on my own with no-one to tow me out

But while I was driving earlier (legally) I managed to get well and truly stuck, I really would have found a winch helpful to get me out of my stuckness or maybe even some waffleboards and a shovel (suppose I could have got one out of my shed) !!

the thing is, now dont be laughing at me. But I was stuck............on.........my drive

its not even a big drive, look

it took me an hour to get my truck out

would we laugh ? ... well would we ?

oh dear, i hope that Shogun owner over the road wasnt watching, how embarrassing...!!

zippy656 · 03-10-2010, 21:11

BUT why stuck??

clivvy · 03-10-2010, 21:22

yeah...didnt you try 4L?

stevecrm · 03-10-2010, 21:30

the shogun owner is my bestest friend and yes he was laughing

I was in 4L but the mud is mostly clay and very very slippery, everytime I moved the truck it just slid further into the bushes. I did not want to hit the side doors on the brick post, the doors are the only part of my car without dents

at times the truck would just slide sideways without me doing anything, I did get some scratches on the rear bumper in the end though

and Briggie, I can hear you laughing at me

Why has the house over the road got such a massive chimney ?

jims-terrano · 03-10-2010, 21:26

If you tried 4wd are the hubs working???? That didn't look too bad.

I've heard of anti-climb paint, anti theft steering locks,
But an anti-theft drive..... fantastic.

People with expensive cars will be contacting you so you can do their drives.

Try selling it on ebay, fantastic deterrent.

I would patent that straight away.

dont think I would have been stuck at all with your tractor tyres on, I did actually think of jacking it up and putting them on at one stage. But didnt fancy washing them again
