I'm guessing that's an example of how not to do 'artificial lift design'.

Or he's a skipper who forgot that on land you need to use the roads.

Still, it's a good effort on those tyres. I imagine his date was really impressed with the wait for a taxi afterwards

I have felt like doing just that a few times but something (the knowledge of what would happen) has always stopped me.

Maybe he was trying to reverse down.......

I'm surprised that he couldn't reverse down even with the front in the air?

With most of the weight towards the rear and assuming the rear wheels have traction, you'd think he would have been able to scrape himself back until the fronts got purchase? (Though the downside will probably be some damage to the underside).

 

[Crispin]

Can't reverse down - the ear wheels are on grass. We all know how lethal that is with road tyres

(Figured I'll take the jibe before anyone else does)

Must have been trying to avoid the ticket barrier. We did say this was in Scotland didn't we

They have recently started charging for parking during the day, it may have come as a surprise to him.

Its the AECC....they charge you for breathing!!!

 

[wobbly]

Bet learning about daytime parking was less of a shock than learning about grounding a lwb four wheel drive.....
