works for me although stops occasionally to catch up with itself. Well worth watching though. Relates to 4 young men snowed into their drive and being helped out by a 4x4.
if you can't watch the video clip, you probably need to install 'div x'. do a search for google, download and install the freee version and you should be away....

Oh dear, I should so like to see the accident report form and the subsequent insurance claim!
Long years ago when Allegro's were new, a friend of mine was an AA scout (show you how long ago it was, he had just moved from his BSA M20 outfit to a van). Anyway, within a fortnight of them appearing on British roads, a sign appeared in their office that on no account was any AA employee to tow one: they must always be lift towed. It seems they used to g-r-o-w in length, especially if towed up hills or tow started to the considerable detriment of the spot welds .............
