That's why I don't go on my own mate. Getting stuck with no backup is not fun

Could you resize your pics to 640x480 please :wink:

I got out of this pickle with a set of waffle boards wedged sideways behind the tyre, enabling me to gain traction :D

I pity the little hound sitting in the back, if only dogs knew who they were putting their trust in :roll: they would probably refuse to get in a car driven by a human again :lol:
