My mate honestly it really wasn’t me(I was in the passenger seat)has parked his boxster 986 down a very steep sloped field.

It’s probably fked.

I’m wondering if there is any PH in the area that might be able to come drag it out?

Or give me a recommendation on who could help?

Edit:

The farmer has called us and sadly where he’s parked is more bog than field right by the brook. Can’t get at it with any of his machinery.

The usual option is to go and see the farmer

Who after swearing at you will charge £20 - 50 to tow it out, more if you're damaged his fence / hedge

Car may be broken but not broken down
The AA don't drag stuff out of fields.

They have dragged me out a field before, and the person who came to rescue us, we hadn’t crashed just got stuck.

Seems they have an accident assistance service,not sure if its included on every breakdown policy.
The terms n conditions list is massive,not reading it all

The RAC pulled my Fabia vRS out of some clay that it very unexpectedly got stuck in, in the car park at the base of the Old Man of Coniston.
The field in question by OP is private property though, but trickier and not sure a AA/RAC van will venture in. I'd go with the bung to the farmer!

hehe It's typical of forums, isn't it; they always suspect that the misfortune has been given that old fig leaf of an excuse: "asking for a friend".

Well, I do believe you. This time wink

And I'm sorry for that frustrating field. No laughing matter.

Forestry tractor with winch or something equally big and heavy duty. I doubt a recovery lorry could get it's winch anywhere near that. It probably is fked if it went over those rocks but it can't sit there ruining the view forever.

Surely the answer is set fire to it and claim it was stolen this afternoon. Then it’s your (sorry - your friend’s) insurance company’s problem...






This advice is not to be taken seriously and is merely to try and cheer the OP up a bit!
