there were no midgets involved ????
I'm sure there will be, but more of a 'towing eye' than recovery.
Not sure it would have been upto the job TBH, you'd be pulling a hell of a lot of weight against all that water
Some £1 swimming goggles from the pound shop would have been suffice

The eye on my P38 was strong enough to recover it from a deep ditch.I'm sure there will be, but more of a 'towing eye' than recovery.

Water was flowing across on the sprt recovery, slow gentle pull, out of gear handbrake off and it would not have been that bad

But Keith this is a sport we are talking about, if the towing eye is as unreliable as the rest of the car...... No hope !!

a lot more suitable than that , its lower down and secured to something more substantial

Yes, it did look like the brakes were on. Electric handbrakes have to be the most stupid development ever.9-10 bet the handbrake stuck on 1/2 way across due to water in becm that's what finished it
