My darling wife, with a little bit of help from me, is currently running control for our 4x4 Response group. Very busy this afternoon arranging for lots of nurses to get to their jobs at various hospitals and care homes tonight and tomorrow.
I've got a job to collect one myself at around 6.30 in the morning to take her to work, before I then go to work! Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!" - Princess Leia |

The reason his boot is open is because he didn’t have any towing eye! So I attached my rope to a strut brace he had attached in the back of his car! It was bent after..

It’s only one of them modified things they put in to make the suspension tighter! 😂

You are in the wrong part of Somerset Steve, I went outside just now and we must have 8” plus and it is still coming down heavily. But I am doing my bit, the pheasants have come in from the field behind us and are roosting under the Defender and one has limboed under the Jag I have been given my orders that I need to dig an exit path for him in the morning

Yeah, I know what it is. That's why I'm amazed you used it to recover him, and backwards New project and it's green: www.projectoverland.info |

Nice work - we'd be in deep doodoo here without you guys getting our nursing staff to work. Hope they can get home tomorrow, but it doesn't look promising. Apparently, we've only 6 ambulances functioning tonight for the whole of the south of the county (staff unable to get in). Obviously, I drove myself in  . My resident junior doctor couldn't make it in tonight (she couldn't even get out of her estate) so I'm being the junior doctor again for the first time in over 14 years
I really hope someone turns up in the morning. |

err, so if it's now bent, the distance between the mounting points is smaller, which means the chassis is narrower than it was..... nice bit of good samaritan-ship, but I do wonder whether you've done some serious damage there. Hope not. |

I've just got in from spending 8 hours ferrying people who've abandened their cars down here in Devon.
The road up to my own house looks like this; Click image to enlarge so you can guess i took a different route home! Only downside to those helping tow and ferry people about was the minority driving about with LED bars on full whack causing driving towards them a nightmare, LED bars are not needed in these circumstances. I did the whole day with my standard lights, no dramas, no problems. To all those in and around the torbay area helping out, good on you, i ferried 42 people in total to their homes and i'm certain an awful lot more are home n dry due to the help of others  |
