You haven't got stuck already Hugh? Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
2012 RRS SDV6
2008 RRS TDV8
"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"
Still not quite as good as a tracked vehicle when trying to tow a horse-trailer across a muddy field.

2014 D4 HSE
2006 RRS - C'est mort. Fin... ...It's alive! Oh no, it's not - scrapped.

Ah, yes, towing a decently sized land anchor across poor ground is always going to be challenging! Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

It’s a fiendish plot, towing a horse trailer across bad ground. If the towing car gets stuck, the horse could be deployed on towing duty.

Pair of strops and hunter wellies isn’t it,
Is it something like 10-15 times of its own body weight a horse can pull
