chimera Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 For your amusement... I found out the biggest disadvantage of using NSW today,... soft sand and a front wheel drive dont mix :oops: I decided I'd try Red Beach today for water... 15 minutes later after numerous attempts to get out, the wheels got stuck deeper. Another 5 minutes later, a 4WD, a tractor, a policecar and about 20 spectators, my brother inlaw and myself managed to get towed out mildly red-faced - but I guess you just had to laugh :lol: Now THAT was embarrassing!!!! Managed a 250 litre water change in the end though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_from_nz Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I had a similar thing happen to me on a rally once (we went off the road and got berried) and we had to digg bare handed in pricle bushes for 29 minuts to get the car out we ended up comming dead last (quite funny seeing an evo 6 below all the 2 wheel drive cars) and as we lost 29 minuts were 1 minut off max lateness problem is we couldn't get help because that is outside assistance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
