He's a hero, got me all choked up here...probably got that injury from an entitled motorist trying to circumvent a coned off road closure.

He's not fit to be out there anymore - licence to cone revoked - but now works the comms like a demon.

Sorry can't type any more - can't see through the tears.

Male, female....genders don't matter when you're extracting a stranded civilian from a code red muddy car park.

That's Colin and he loves his hair, 10cc, and wolf jackets.

I lost my welly in a muddy field this afternoon and got my sock muddy. Do I have to ask for my application to be deleted from the system?

With regards the wolf jackets...

Is the number of wolves you're allowed on your jacket related to rank?

Fear not brave citizen!

We are declaring a code alpha red and are en route to this MAJOR emergency.

Pausing only to don the hi viz, buckle on our multi-tools and grab a weak lemon drink and a sandwich (thanks mum) we are on our way.

Just try to hang in there!

We are time served and fully authorised under the Road Traffic Act, it's going to be okay just hang in there.....

No, in fairness it was a tasty sounding V8, but I can't see how he considers that to be the pinnacle of reliable motoring...

I fail to see the humour in correct hydration.

Also should it be your city-car I was extracting from the mud I'm sure you'd want me not distracted by a rumbling tum, hence filling up with a luncheon meat or shiphams paste sandwich (crusts removed) whilst en-route to the MAJOR event.

So just you think on...

As I live on the edge of the Peak District, I'm used to seeing lots of 4x4 vehicles, and the proper Farmer-spec Defenders with white steelies.

However the last few mornings since it has got bit frosty I've seen the same mid 90's Toyota Landcruiser with MASSSIVE mud and snow tyres, shovels, snorkels, roof rack, work-lamps, winches, hazard stickers - it's a full house of Walt. Pride of place on the side door is a website sticker for farcorners.co.uk - which I thought was going to be the local hi-viz collectors club.

Curiously it is a supplier of Land Rover walting-parts - http://farcorners.co.uk/product-category/vehiclepr... I can't find any Toyota parts on there at all.

Is this a new sub-class of Toyota drivers who aspire to one day having a Land Rover?

No, it's a Land rover driver who wants to get there AND back.

I see, so the stickers are reminiscent of times spent under a Land Rover before they upgraded? I get it now...

Best I could get without being spotted by the owner.

Got response vehicle, K9, and dogs stickered all over it.

With matching trailer.

hmm, long grass under an old Freelander suggests a failure to proceed.
