Actually, in truth my very first recovery was pulling a guy in an X-Trail backwards off the road coming out of Kingfisher Bay on Fraser Island. He was bogged to the floor-pan and nobody could get round him.:)

Backwards would suggest I'm in reverse wouldn't it? ;)Quote:

I was definitely going forwards then, then I went up and then I went down .... and then I stopped :D
