Land Rover VS Nissan

This was today at Walsash Slipway, as soon as we arrived we were asked to pull a Nissan out the mud...



The rope snapped on the first attempt, turns out it had been used to tie a dog up and had been chewed!



Poor bloke, there must have been 70 people outside the pub

I'd bet the disco would need pulling out too if it was where the Nissan was

Nah cos he would have let the pressure down on the front tyres and driven out makes a big difference

Personally I'd never recover anyone with my tailgate open, seen a few ropes fail and damage the rear of vehicles - rather a dented rear door than a dented head, get it really wrong and flying shackles can kill - and they have otherwise well done
