Thumbs up Subaru Impreza as Tow Truck?!

Just had a call from my daughter ...... she has dumped the wifes Nissan Micra into the ditch on a country bend

Great!! Off I go to see the Micra disappeared in a ditch on its side!!

Think about calling out the Breakdown Club, but I have a big fishing trawler docking rope in the back of the car .........

Wrap it around the rear cross axle thingy ... hook over towball on Scoobie - get in Impreza and get the 4WD and 215BHP to work ........ out she came, eays as easy can be!!

Do these Subarus actually do ANYTHING when called upon!!??

Superb pieces of kit!!

Here we go again. Anyone want to start by asking about the big fishing trawler docking rope and why it's in the boot?

Or

Why do you pay for roadside assistance and go out anyway?

I have written down both answers on a piece of paper and put them in a top hat! Will check if I am right tomorrow.

Daughter was fine mate ... thanks for asking

She was taking her 3 mates to town for the evening ... they were all OK, she apparently 'slid' into the ditch (the road was very slippy there, so can imagine how it happened).

She was shaken, but its a good lesson to learn without anyone getting hurt.

Thanks again for your concern

It was in the boot because I put it there in case I needed it - I had just been told that one of the families cars was sideways in a ditch!!

Why did I go out even though I pay for cover? Because my daughters friend rang me and they wanted help - so I went out!!

You are a **** aren't you?

Now pete, thats not very christian. As you seem to be the boy who cried wolf on this forum and didn't give me the detail (which is common with your aesops fables). What was I supposed to think?

You jumped to a wrong conclusion, for some reason and made yourself look like a **** ................... tough, get over it, watch and learn.

Probably would have if it was from someone else on the forum. Unfortunately I have found that his comments are normally unconstructive and sometimes offensive. I draw my conclusions from what I see.

So if your daughter and her mates were going out into town, are you still pretending to be 77?

And has your dad still got the Galaxy?

If they were on their way to town I assume they are early 20's. That would make Pete around mid 50's when he had them,either he is telling porkies about his age or he is poking someone half his age

My father was very young when he had me, and I was quite old when I had my daughter - my wife is much, much younger than me ................ it's no mystery for a mind that can actually think! Thats why your mind struggles with the addition, subtraction and concept
