That's ace, I'll remember that one!

The fella looked just like the 'Comic Book Guy' from the Simpsons, just to help create the mental image...

After several minutes of 3 people trying to push his car out the snow he was going nowhere, it didn't help that he didn't have a clue what he was doing.

Eventually we gave up, and I said "it's a pity you don't have a rope, my 4x4 is parked over there"... To which he snarled "You mean you're telling me you drive a 4x4 and don't carry a rope!?!?!"

So I said "You drive a BMW, and you're stuck in the snow."

And then I smiled, and walked away...


Quality! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

When we had the big snow back in 2010 one of our neighbours was digging out the front wheels for traction... on his C class Merc :P

The annoying thing is that once they've pulled out on us and they're proceeding along at a stupidly slow pace making us have to slow right down, they then panic at the slightest sign of a hill and start struggling to make any progress at all...

The whole time we're behind them getting more and more annoyed, then eventually see an opportunity to get by them. I was even yelled at the other week for driving past a load of cars that were stuck on a hill... What do they want me to do? Sit and wait?? Get out and start pushing everyones cars for them??
