The misses has been off work for two days due to the weather, But today made the effort to go in as we managed to get her car off the drive etc....

She gets to work fine.....BUT then i get a phone call from her! :lol:

The snow on the car park where she works hasnt been touched so its about 1 foot deep!!

She and 5 other cars are stuck and cant move!

SO of i goes with the nav to see if i can help out......but the time i got there there was also a 7.5 tonne truck now stuck also.....

I looked at the snow on the car park and thought NO WAY!! but ill give it a go!

Hooked up the misses car first....switched to 4WD LOW and pulled it through the 1 foot deep snow with ease to safty...so i carried on and did the same with the other 5 cars...

Now on to the 7.5 tonner...hooked it up and tryed....no luck at first...as the 22s started to spin, due to the depth of the snow....but then after a few sharp jolts we started to move and get momentum! and got that sucker out of there!!!

THE NAV RULES!!!!!! :clappy: :cheers2: :partycheer:

That's one action packed event! :thumbleft:

EDIT: Andy, I would love to know what you used to pull the lorry? Damn amazing.
The Nav! :lol: :lol: Sorry....the lorry driver had a heavy duty strap that i gess he uses to sucure his loads in the back of his lorry.

there was a hook on one end that i hooked to the rear towing eye on the nav and tied the other end to the cross member on the back of his lorry... i was quite hard to shift it as i was in the virgin snow and he had been spinning his back wheels to try and get out so he had created divits down to the tarmac......but got there in the end!

:thumbright:

I was asked to pull a digger out today,bring chains and a big tractor I was told,it was on an icy slope on the local golf course and the guys were afraid of it sliding sideways off a steep bank.

I got into it and just reversed it down to safety :lol:

Ok, I know it`s got nothing to do with navs but there`s only been an inch of snow here :mrgreen:
Diggerman! your story is Valid! YOU OWN A NAV!!!! :thumbleft: :lol:

Excellent!! Seems to have know problems.

I was using a Discovery td5 yesterday in the snow and was impressed, but been using my nav today ( with tyres that desperatly need replacing) and it feels much better than the disco did, doesnt slip in the corners at all and the roads are the same today as they were yesterday.

Cheers
ADAM
Luckly i changed my rear tyres a few months back....Id say the roads are worse today due to the big freeze last night......Temp display in the nav was showing -10oC when i was going over the Thelwall Viaduct on the M6 at 9.30 this morning! :shock:
