Mid week rescue

On the way home from the grocery shopping in Upper Hutt my wife spotted a vehicle in the river under the Silverstream rail bridge @ 8:15 pm tonight. So we went and checked on them, sure enough a family in a Toyota stuck up against the bridge pier, as I only had my wife's car I told them I would be back in 10 minutes with the Jeep.

Managed to tow them backwards onto a gravel island where he was fortunate enough to get it all running again, one happy man - he very generously gave my son some money for a few beers, when we got home we realised it was quite a few beers.

A big thank-you to whoever he was, just helping out someone in need.

Well done Ian and that is what needs to be put in the papers as well, not the first part but the recovery part!

Concur.
Emailed Ian's post to the Dom.Pity he didnt think to take pics with his cell phone. never mind.


I will probably get in the shit for doing it, but I dont give a rat's arse about that. Any good press we can get I will grab.

Its for the greater good of 4wding and the club scene.
