Bit of an idiot...

Hurrah, success!!
Well done to all, am sure the guilty party will be buying an awful lot of beer tonight!!

[john2443]

Foul!

You've broken your own rules, the list didn't include an M5. (Wouldn't a X5 have been more useful though?)

If we'd known that we could have sorted it out hours ago!

Lube before parking

All's well that ends well.

[TonyHetherington]

Pah. That was way too simple

I drew a diagram an' everyfing!

[ironictwist]

Was it an E34/E39 or E60?

And the Merc only had to move a couple of inches.

Have you got enough wood/bricks to create a ramp big enough for one wheel? If so, place that a few feet ahead of the car you want releasing on the left hand side, rev it up then full speed ahead at the ramp. Car will go up on two wheels and squeeze through the gap, into the road, and away you go.

I'm sure it'd work - they do it in the movies all the time...

Could have just taken the Bumper off the Merc

Why would they need to move the Merc now?

To move it back again?

It took me a long time to come up with that response...or perhaps I missed pages 2 and 3. Apologies, I'm a bit slow on the uptake today.

Edit: and page 4.

Success!! A combination of three men, some lubrication and an M5 moved the merc about 2 inches. Then we decided that the gap WAS big enough so with some careful spotting and a almost trading paint on the wall to the left and merc to the right to 944 crept out!! It was all about the couple of extra inches

Hurrah!

Awaiting affirmation from PHettes!
