    When do they learn?

    When do the crews learn to take a rope to the car? Not only in winter events but also durring summer it's one of THE items to have with you, wonder how many minutes would have been saved in this case...

    Indeed.. and why didnt the driver in this case actually try and use the little traction he has to give the spectators a help on getting him out???

    Ratchet straps can also be good in certain situations..

    Would you help lifting the car out, if it had spinning wheels with long spikes on it?

    Yes that's me

    Can't believe it took so long to get him out, he doesn't even try to move the car until after 5 minutes The problem was the back wheels were in the air so of no use, you can see me trying to bounce the back of the car so the wheels would touch the ground. But the best option would have been to pull the front of the car onto the road like they did at the back.

    But as DJ says, a rope would have been very useful. I remember seeing one car stuck at an event over here that had a rope in the boot of the car already attached, so when he went off the codriver got out, opened the boot and got the rope ready even before any spectators arrived on the scene

    Neh neh...I was the first who saw the car and told J4MIE about it, who right away gave me all his stuff and run there to try to help those guys. Then J4MIE started to shout and asking to get there and take a pic, but couldn't do that with all his and my stuff to look after No idea where BJ was hiding :

    Well I was only thinking of pics for Karmen (you can hear me shout) but it was only when I was pushing the car I saw it was them.... never mind.
