Help With Winch Rescue / Waipara River Sun 11/12/11

[zephyrheaven]

Hi Guys anyone up near the Waipara today? Got a mate stuck up there - been a long night by the sounds
As far as I can tell they have a couple jammed in up there - been trying to find that blokes # that does winch towing in Canty, has a Safari with all the goodies & loads of LED's? Anyone know him

I cant get up there till 5ish myself & dont know if a VX with a 4T winch is going to be enough

Cheers in advance

James

[mudlva]

what like the 8k thomos recovery team

[samewan]

not that expensive but we got 1500 buxs one day if my truck was fixed i would come do it for a box of beer

Ha , yikes - well not sure how they are going out there
Apparently have 2 Safari's on 35's jammed in & a tractor to match - cant be good

Did they get out? Trying to get my head round how you'd get 2 trucks so stuck in the Waipara.
Im sorry but the Navara's auto is sitting on the driveway beside it

Think so, fones were going flat late today but progress was positive - waipara had flooded a bit late yesterday - old saying if the water is discoloured dont go playing in it ha ha

Yeah that chap with the saf charges like 1500 from what ive heard. I woulda come give it a go with a terrano on 33's. but by the sounds of it that wont do shit haha! sorry about that, im thinking if a tractor couldnt, the safari guy probly cant either....

i hear they are all out and sorted. I also hear it may have had something to do with a work xmas party and a late "play" down at the river ha ha
