Help anyone?......stuck in Albany......

Postby Starxcn » Sun Jul 22, 2012 8:53 am

I didn't really mean to do offroad, I was only just a little curious...So I tried to drive my highlander through a lawn near Albany Mall. But soon found out it was a swamp in the middle and then I stuck in the soft mud. It's about 100 meters from the road and the tow truck wouldn't risk to come in. That was last night and I had to leave my car out there and got friends to pick me up.

I guess a powerful truck might be able to tow it out from the mud. But none of my friends have such car... :(
Anyone can help with this? Please call me on 0212367994...


Huge thanks and will pay......

what he said

seen so many tyre tracks through grass lately where you just know the vehicle never made it out the other side

even witnessed a rather large truck trying to take a 10m shortcut yesterday that failed and got bogged down

good luck finding somebody to help, it sounds like you need somebody with a winch and extensions as its pretty risky driving into soft squishy grassy ground

p.s. we definitely need pics coz we love pics :lol: :lol:

It's very soft mud, doubt if the jack can work. I've seen those traction aid belts, will those work?

But anyway, a nice people from New Lynn just text me. Now I just pray he'd be the angel.... :)
