it was in the water taking a battering for quite a while before it was rescued by 4 other 4wd's and lots of helpers pushing, doesn't matter anyway the salt water has done it's damage 'Oh what a feeling ******' cheers Dennis:angel:
ps yes I know the venerable Land Rover can end up the same way if you haven't a clue as to what your doing,,.:)

Yeah, but remember that is someone else's pride and joy, have some compassion - we have seen the same thing happen to fellow members here with their LR's.

Who knows what the circumstances were? Could have been stupidity, but could have been a genuine mistake or inexperience.

Sad IMO...
