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

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

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
