I know it's no longer friday but that subject reminded me of the Mississippi night a year or so ago when I pulled a ford minivan out of a ditch with my ac westy. The driver had suspended one of the front drivewheels over a hole simultaneosly bottoming the van out and making front wheel touching the ground useless thanks to the open diff. Luckily I keep a tow chain (for the oposite sort of situation) and my clutch was up for a bit of slippage. One of my vans finest moments (up there with making it through the Eisenhower tunnel). Too bad I don't have a video, your friend would be sold for sure... Jonathan Poole '82 AC Westy (with built in towing capabilities) |
