quote:Couple sink in manure pit after row

A young couple had to be rescued after their car sank in a manure pit during a trip to the country.

Craig Aitken took girlfriend Louise Edwards for a drive because she disapproved of his new £9,000 Vauxhall Corsa.

She was mad at him splashing out so much money on his new car. He was hoping to patch things up during a drive in Kimmeridge, Dorset.

But Craig drove into a slurry pit and the car sank up to its windows. The couple had to climb out of the windows and on to the roof to ring 999.

The Daily Mail reports they were eventually rescued by a farmer. Craig says the adventure has actually brought the couple closer together.

The 19-year-old said: "We had a serious argument over whether I could afford it. I wanted to be alone with her to sort things out.

"I didn't see the pit because there was grass over it. Louise did not say a word to me until we plunged right into the middle and then she had a go at me. There was no way we could get out and we started to really panic."

Craig managed to get a message to emergency services as his mobile phone battery died but the couple didn't know their location. A police search helicopter spotted Craig waving Louise's red jumper from the roof of his car.

Farmer John Hole eventually rescued the couple by heaving the car out of the manure with his five ton tractor. He said: "I felt sorry for them because they were very embarrassed but we were all young once."

Craig has now sent his car off to be thoroughly cleaned. He added: "In a way the drive did help us to patch things up."

So the Corsa can't be sh*t, because otherwise they wouldn't have known what lump to pull out of the slurry pit. QED.

To paraphase a well known saying.

'You can take a Corsa out of the Shite but you can't take the shite out of the Corsa'.

Perhaps our friend in the Corsa was trying to show the added value of the Corsa's off-road ability. It could have worse, I believe there are several MoD firing ranges in the Kimmeridge area, they could have parked up and been used as target practice.

WTF he doing driving in a field

[nigelbasson]

Getting "closer" to his girlfriend? Or perhaps she was giving him some "light relief" and thats why he didn't spot the slurry pit?

[JonRB]

Trying to "make up" with his girlfriend, of course. Or is that "make out"?
