Owner should have had a Tirfor :)

I remember last time I was working in the UK, early 80's, someone took a
dumper onto the beach on the south coast, & got it stuck with an
incoming tide. Got his mate with a Drott to come & get it out. It too
got stuck. Then got a JCB to come & shift 'em all. Got stuck too, then
the tide came in ... made a lovely picture in the paper.

Later on in the article they get it right, including in this revealing
snippet;

"The crew attached a buoy and anchor to the jet ski and, as the
machine was stuck fast, they decided to leave it in the mud overnight.
Two hours later, however, the incident took a twist when Mr Morgan
attempted to drive out across the mud in his Vauxhall 4x4 to try and
recover the jet ski himself - and the vehicle became stuck."

Some people urgently need an appointment with kindly Uncle Darwin.

Strictly speaking, they are right. The vehicle is described as a "4x4
landrover" rather than a Land Rover (or Land-Rover).

Any vehicle which roves across the land could be described as a landrover.
So a Vauxhall could be a landrover. But not a Land Rover.

In a million years.
