In case you don't want to get dirty and dig down you can use this handy recovery point!

Nice idea

to save smashing the rear windows, I thought he might have attached the rope to those roof bars.

Obviously not worried about the vehicle - most likely in response to a council law that crap cannot be left on the beach.

However a bit of work with some shovels behind the car to remove the sand hump would have resulted in minimal additional damage when pulling it out.

Laughing my tits off!
The article said he lost his kids over the same weekend.... were they in the mud as well?????

Think the car would have been a write off well and truly after having 4 tides go through it.... lovely salt water would do wonders. Did he think he had a Hilux?

ROFLMAO

Brilliant idea. For forward recovery just wind front windows and attach strap around the A pillar. Side recovery front and rear window down & strap round B pillar. Why didn't I think of this!
