Re: Anyone in the sonning area fancy rescuing a HiLux from m
I should'nt laugh, been there, done that, still get the "P" taken out of me. (no doubt someone will mention it, so I though I would get in first.  )
Had he got permission to use the field ? If like me he had'nt then the land owner WON'T BE VERY HAPPY. 
Unfortunately I would love to recover him but he's just a bit to far away. Tell him to go and knock on the nearest farm to where he is stuck. Plead nicely with the farmer, slip him a crispy pound note and he'll be pulled out in a jiffy.
see how he explaains it to the guys @ hi-lux forum here
What have I told you about Thinking Erroll??
I went out to have a look at about 6:30.. It was still stuck.. I had to shoot so I lent him my tow strap (the one that saved me from the ford) and from what I can gather they used the tow strap, a chain and a hand winch to get the two cars out!

Reading his plight on the hilux site suggests that his penance (from his good lady) for his actions will have already been served.

Bloody hell.
Lucky some farmer didn't shoot him or drive over his truck with a tractor! "there was no sign saying no entry" It doesn't need a sign to be private property!!! Some people just don't think before bombing it off in to some field. No wonder farmers hate 4wds.

now that was unlucky imagine having to explain that to the girlfreind good for a laugh tho !frontera 2.8td hybrid
reminds me of me younger days when i took me girlfriend out & we went up the woods for a chat
anyhow after about an hour or so we did talk too  i started the car (an old ford sierra) put it in gear & bugger me it was stuck,more i span the wheels more stuck it got,tryed everything.last call of action we had to walk 3 miles to a phone box(no mobiles back then),phoned me old man (not impressed) he had to come & meet us,in me mums fiat panda 4*4,& yes it pulled me out,but believe me i had this ringing in the ears for weeks  ,oh & it was midnight when i had to phone me old man,not only that me girlfriend at the time lived 20 miles away he was not impressed at all  true that,its not big & its not funny to go off road at night  silly things we do in our younger days....................my frontera 2.3 td is a slug in snails clothing ha
I looked at that photo and thought you idoit.It only takes one person to balls it up for the rest of us.dont 4x4 owners /off roaders get enough bad press as it is,how many lanes have been closed due to damage by a few idiots that drive them when they should have or trash areas where they should not be.how much rain have we had over the last few days if live nr sonning you know it sits low and floods all round that area,sorry about the rant
fair enough,but is a flood plain private or common land?
It maybe a flood plain but it has probably got grazing rights by a local farmer or still be owned by said farmer so it's not the best of ideas to go driving around Fields at night with out asking first 
I say this after spending about 2 hours of my day at work pulling 4 yes 4 vehicles out of a field that my boss owns 1st was a disco that when for a night drive with road tyres and got stuck, so his mate in a Mondeo thought he would pull him out 
Then this morning a rav4 with road tyres thought he could get them both out & you have guessed it he got a little bogged down, so they then got the RAC out ---- yes he got stuck too So enter me with this 
Got them all out no problems RAC man gave me £10 for my time Rav4 driver gave me £5 for my time mondeo driver said Thank-you very much F****** DISCO driver pinched my recovery strap & said gate should have been chained up if he was not meant to be in there 
If i see him again there maybe a scrap disco for sale
I will have to get a new strap for next Sunday now I Like this Truck of mine, just like me it's well run in it's not old just older.

It doesnt matter, if your caught driving on it without permmision you get a section s59 first is a fine and warning second time your car is crushed. You can only drive on legal rights of way. You need to do your home work to find them, and thay are not muddy play sites, treat them with respect or we WILL loose them. Ste

We have been with plenty on road tyres and they have done very well even in the snow.. its just knowing the limitations it gives you, and knowing your truck and assessing the environment your in. Ste
