Warwickshire 4x4 response is their one?
As the other night i could have done with some help, driving home from the pic's about 10.30 and my phone rings its a guy i know how has taken his dogs out and as it was getting dark he thought he would drive on the grass and sit in the van with the lights on and let the dogs run about which he did but when he came to leave the wheels just span.
but as i dont have a 4x4 at the moment we got another guy with a paj WHO WOULDENT DRIVE ON THE GRASS, and my van is usless on anythink other than tarmac, i had to leave at 1.30am so he had to leave the van and his tools in the park overnight,but luckly he returned in the morning to bump into a lr owner who pulled him out.
I have been stuck aswell a few years ago is their a local group?

I dont think that 4x4 response groups do that!
They are more for assisting during times of need, like the floods and severe weather.
Check out http://www.4x4response.info (http://www.4x4response.info)
Find out properly what they do!

Or just post a request for help on here, I'm sure if anyone is free they would gladly help

A good length of rope and just pull him off the grass from the road? A car stuck on grass can often be freed with a bit of a push. Once it's moving it'll carry on moving.

He was to far from the road and sunk down good and proper,
just an idea would any of you guys go out at night to rescue a motor stuck in mud just for the crack, as i probley would, since giving up drinking im getting bored and the missus dose my head in.
-
i would, its usually a good laugh :lol:
-
Assuming they hadn't been pratting around illegally then yep, I'd go and fish them out. That would be as a Mud Clubber rather than a 4x4 Responder though, as the latter hat only goes on with an official callout.
-
by all means anything for a good laugh
hehehehehehe :dance: :dance: :dance:

if i was in a response group i would help out with that,
yeah i would go for a laugh, a few years ago my mate took a corner far too fast in his volvo and ended up about 50 metres off the road in a forest ive no idea how he didnt hit a tree, he rang me and i went no questions asked, when i got there there was a pajero tying togather pieces of thin rope to attach :shock: as soo as i got there i though he was joking with what he had made, i just attached the tow rope and pulled him out, it was quite cool
i quite often go to flooded fords and pull people out who decide to brave it in their cars, i could charge them but i dont because i have a laugh doing it

our barns on a steep hill and inthe snow cars cant get up it so over the past few years, since we got 4x4s weve pulled loads of cars up it, been paid a fiver by the driver of a tatty old van but nothing by all the bmws etc :roll: it would be chaos down there sometimes if we didnt because its not wide enough for 2 cars to pass
