Feeling Smug!!!

Feeling Smug!!! was created by kirkynut
I'm feeling smug as we've been able to get about with no issues during the recent snowy weather whilst others have been struggling to get out of their parking spaces, let alone drive down the road.

It has all gone down here in Southend-on-Sea, but I towed three vehicles during the snow!

The first was a necessity as it was blocking our way to the local sledging spot!!! A 58 plate Lexus going backwards with the wheels spinning forwards on a hill.

The second was technically a breakdown as I bump started a Renualt Megane Scenic with a flat battery for a family member of my partner.

The third was down to my festive spirit - A MK3 Mondeo that had slid to the side of the road due to a steep camber and was stuck partly over a junction at the bottom of my partner's road. I sat with 4 wheels spinning on sheet ice whilst the car of 150% weight on the rope behind me would not move - got it out with persistance though!!!

Have any of you done any tows and felt as smug as I?
