    Irony, of is someone upstairs trying to tell me something.

    First time my car has been in low range since I got it back. Got to first obsticle, a big dirt mound (didn't know at the time but it was filled in with stinky garbage) and got hung up big time. To make matters worse it was an impromptu moment that we decided to go offroad, therefore the usual array of recovery equipment in the back of the car was not there.

    How bloody embarassing

    Yes there are pictures and I am sure they'll follow once CAL415 logs on.

    Yep, first time I got mine muddy I got hung up on the diffs. Just a quick blat down some tracks I knew well & the Suzukis all did like a walk in the park. No gear on board. Got snatched by a Mazda Bravo. How embarassing.

    I used to say that, up until the first time I did....

    Then the bloke I was helping said "why do you carry so much crap?"

    feeling insulted I told him..

    Black Knight....

    I had to read that many times, then pick myself up off the floor

    No-one likes being recovered by another brand.....however once at the play area of Emu creek a freind in a GQ Patrol was bellied out and we used a Rocsta to tow him as it was the least capable vehicle

    Have photo's somewhere
