Are you suggesting that no one will require any assistance in extricating their car from the car parks at either Glastonbury or Goodwood over the weekend? I admire your optimism but not your grasp of reality.
Who cares if the vehicles doing the helping have yellow lights on top or enthusiastic chaps in muddy hi-viz? If the alternative is waiting until summer to recover your car then surely just smiling a thanks at the volunteers is better than steadfastly refusing help because you're too busy mocking them?
Whoa there.Who cares if the vehicles doing the helping have yellow lights on top or enthusiastic chaps in muddy hi-viz?

We're not just talking "assistance"....oh no.
What you get is an Emergency Response Unit.
Remember to give them plenty of space and obey everything they say. They've been trained don't forget...you haven't.

Can we send some people to Glastonbury to get stuck and test the ERU's capabilities?
Post some pictures and we could grade the ERUs for vehicle height, tow rope efficiency, yellow bar light visibility etc.
Anymore suggestions?
excellent plan.Post some pictures and we could grade the ERUs for vehicle height, tow rope efficiency, yellow bar light visibility etc.

Those members who attend should wear hi vis jackets and carry clip boards to mark them out as carrying on with official pistonheads duty and are therefore to be obeyed.

It can probably be overlooked just this once but.....
Does your vehicle have flashy yellow lights...on the roof, in the grill, in the glove box, under the bonnet....you can never have too many beacons.
The words "Emergency", "Incident" or "Response" should be on it somewhere along with a bit of legally ambiguous reflective chequered strip.
Also, did you wait by the phone and suspend your normal life for the 48hrs leading up to Operation Go Get My Dad?
Finally, did you video it all, overlay the theme from Thunderbirds, stick on YouTube and then claim you "don't do it for the attention"?
If you can say yes to most of that, you're in.
One of my headlights has an intermittent fault were it goes on and off when I brake, so technically if I just accelerate and brake a lot it will look like my patrol is winking at people. I'm sure somewhere in the owners manual it says both incident or response, so if I just leave it open on that page or pages in my wind screen I can meet that criteria. In the 48hrs previous, I was with my Dad/mum and friends at Glasto in a non compliant for the 4x4 response brigade state.Does your vehicle have flashy yellow lights...on the roof, in the grill, in the glove box, under the bonnet....you can never have too many beacons.
