Dibble, no matter what you think, what you did was heroic. I suspect that if someone like you was about at the right time, I wouldn't have lost a close relative in the same way. You don't need to be james bond or arnie to do something heroic.ks, of course.

I spotted an American "cop" car on the M27 westbound near Cadnam not so long ago. Dodge Charger I think. Always a bit of an odd sight. I used to cycle past one on a driveway near Camberley too. I get the idea of owning one to hire out for events/TV shows, etc. But I wouldn't want to drive one about as a daily, just because of the attention I assume it would attract...Often seen parked on the pavement in mayflower park on the seafront along with the local forex “traders”
Had to travel from the Isle of Wight today to pick my son up from Loughborough where he is at University. On the way back A43/M40 junction saw this . I do wish we were able to get a front photo because it had a bullbar, spots and a tow rope wrapped around the bullbar a la propa 4x4. Hi Viz present on the front seat backs.
Total of 4 CB twigs does that mean 4 rigs ?

k his brain up I entered the honouree 10th emergency service today due to snow, no 4x4 though but high viz on. Was trying to ascend a bank and unfortutely no luck, but stumbled across a stuck damsel in distress gave her a few words of advice and a good push and off she went. Find out she is a nurse and friend of friend. Can see why they do it, felt like a proper 2 bob hero.
Shout out to the 4x4 crew sleeping with one eye open, the forgotton heroes of snow, rain etc

I saw the Action Men of 4x4 rescue out and about in the very heavy rain on the night of the 23rd, in the lanes around St Brides near Newport. They had the full set of tools; flashing orange lights, high vis jacket, big bendy aerials on a Y reg Discovery, long sticks for measuring the depth of the water, flasks containing what one can safely assume to be weak lemon squash. The looked most put out when I tackled the formidable puddles in my lowered MX5 Shout out to the 4x4 crew sleeping with one eye open, the forgotton heroes of snow, rain etc
