I mentioned on another story of how, a few weeks back, I had to pull a BMW out of the mud at a Cyclocross race. I had to do this as I drive a Subaru Legacy Awd (with its winter tyres freshly fitted) and the farmer who owned the field holding the race was otherwise engaged with his Tractor pulling others out of the mud and cursing the state that his field was left in.

This reminded me of a situation a few years back when my Dad, who is a farmer of sometimes questionable intelligence, suffered a momentary brain freeze and decided to try and tow a jeep trailer full of cement bags out of his field with his Peugeot 507 rather than use his Isuzu pickup or indeed his 100hp John Deere Tractor. The clutch on the Peugeot died a premature death that day and amid much foul language my old man summoned me to rectify the situation with the mentioned Tractor by pulling the car and the trailer out of the field while wetting myself laughing.

This got me thinking, what are other members towing stories (funny or not). Do share!!:

Have a great day.
