A Hilux, oh the shame of it . Chalk another one up to the Prince of Darkness…

Not a kick out of the engine. Obviously got water somewhere in the ignition. So I accepted his offer to tow me home (about two kilometres). We nearly got bogged a couple of times, but the tow rope was long enough that he was clear of the soft spot by the time I was in it.
So I came home on the end of a tow rope behind a Hilux!
Cheers, Matt
