Thread: Rescuer, rescuee and other strange happenings on the road.

It's a Land rover. They're probably afraid it's contagious.

A couple of months ago we were coming back from a driver training day near Nelligan when we happened on a family with a 76 series wagon towing a camper trailer stuck on the side of the road. Old mate had broken a rear axle backing out of his holiday rental and after some ringing around had decided the best option was to put it in 4wd high and drive home to Forbes. Unfortunately a couple of tonnes of camper trailer and a wet afternoon on the Clyde meant that the front wheel drive Toyota was failing to proceed.

We offered to hook up a strap and towed him about 3km up the Clyde, Once up the hill he unhooked and headed on his merry way with profuse thanks. His wife also offered us all the cash they had but we just said the video they sent us of the Cruiser being pulled by a Defender was more than enough payment. The orange flashing light was a leftover from me moving the tractor the day before, I don't carry one in case of failed Landcruisers
