It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

It's always funny when someone else gets something stuck! A few weeks ago my work friend got the teams ford ranger stuck ha brilliant, but it wasn't so funny when I got the forklift truck stuck!

I have got a lot of company vehicles and plant stuck with my previous employer. Have a deal with my old boss whos my mate that I wont get my current van stuck. Quite a challange round some of our smaller sites. Someone gets stuck pretty much every day.
Had some touch and go moments and had to dig it out with a crowbar and use tactically placed cardboard to get it off a really soft incline the other day.
Trusty Vivaro always gets me out. 6 months next week so only gotta survive tonights callout and shes lasted half a year.

Once recovered a 30t foden GS 6x6 wrecker out of a bog up to its doors.
Its ok so long as its not your fault. Had he wagon stuck on sites a few times had to be pushed / pulled out.

yea, she was really stuck, sitting on the diff on the hard side of the trench, its the only thing that saved it from rolling. found out those van's have surprising few recovery points available. ended up having to bend the bumper a little to get a strop around the chassis crossmember at the back, and we had to lift and pull at the same time, took 5 of us an hour to get out with the digger
