[quote=Dave;39047]I would have helped but car was abandoned. Poor guy had given up and gone away. I passed by again after an hour on the way home and still nobody around the car. Guessing it got stuck at night when no cars about. About 500m away I came across a farmer in a Toyota pick up truck with the back bed loaded 5 feet high with big bags off animal feed,or something. I did help him. The heaviest car I pulled out of the sand prior to this was a Ford Raptor. This was even heavier including all it's cargo. Poor Nissan needed all of its 280bhp to free him up but it managed in first attempt! I have to say I really admire those old Toyota's. Once free, it just drove off over the dunes with at least a ton of weight on its back! Next best thing to a camel! Almost anyway![/quote]
I remember the previous winter i was around the jumierah beach one near knowledge village and a cop approached me asking me if i could help out a loaded media crew pickup mitsubishi truck :p When i saw the truck i was like holy shit ! Tires were all Dug in i didnt loose hope either and i had the famous viking/snatch combo at that time (i still do and is used in extreme situtions when a longer rope is needed) 3 tugs later the truck was out and the media crew were thanking me like i was an angel :p
