My first rescue / recovery!!!

Well, we've had quite a bit of snow today - about 5inches(ish).

Took the kids sledging on Dunstable Downs and then thought we've drive to over the top, just because we could!! Anyway about 1/4 the up, there was a BMW Z3 sitting there with an oldish couple in, looking as thought they were having some issue in going uphill in the snow and ice. I pulled up beside them and asked them if they wanted a tow, which they gratefully accepted.

Whilst it wasn't the heaviest thing to tow, the hippo did her job superbly - TC never lit up and we got over the top with no probs.

I had only got the tow rope about a month ago and it's already been of use

Feel well shuffed to have helped someone out today!!

I recon the z3 towed you.......

Had thought of that, but I think what gave it away was that he was behind me and we were going uphill in a forward motion!!!

My physics is a tad rusty, but I think that means I was towing him - happy to be proved wrong though....

Good work fella. I towed the dominos pizza delivery guy in his old almera up our road tonight. He ended up delivering next door which was lucky for him. We have compacted ice as opposed to snow.

Pulled the local 'Dreams' bed store manager up a hill this morning, says he will do me a heavy discount in return for the favour

Also got to play with a shiny 2010 Defender in the early snow this morning fetching the dayshift in. Heated Front windows, elec windows, A/C .... I think the 'Tufty club' are going soft I tell you something though I'd forgotten how little windscreen height there is on them, still nice memories
