Land Rover 1, Toyota 0.
With the price of fuel skyrocketing through $1.40 a litre it was time to get the car muddy. Some state forest near Leongatha was the venue, Bruce brought his Land Cruiser - and a healthy dose of accelerator pedal. Pictured is Bruce's car stuck in a conundrum uphill from resonably serious tree - can't go up because there's no grip, can't go down becuase of the tree. We had the following stuff:
A chainsaw
A Land Rover with a winch
Two snatch straps and a pile of shackles
A Shovel, an axe and miscellaneous other stuff that takes actual skill/effort to use.

What we didn't have:
Refreshments.

We ended up winching the car sideways but I don't think that was the right thing to do.


What should we have done?
Been boring and winch the car sideways.
Liberate Bruce's car by cutting the tree down with the chainsaw.
Drive into town with the other car, buy explosives, remove the slope in front of Bruce's car.
Let Bruce's tyres down and set them on fire and do 4WD burnouts because that would look cool
Call the RACV/Jack Absolom/Alby Mangles/ Steve Irwin / Maj. Les Hiddens/MythBusters to get their advice
Cry.
All of the above - just to be sure.

You should have made a Stones Bomb under the car to dislodge it. I am disappointed I have to tell you this.
