Can't tell, basically he attached the rope to the front bull bar, and needless to say with a car in a lake/ditch the bar was promptly bent quickly. Should have called a tow truck in the first place.
EDIT: Reading the comments its 'Its woodlapine brooke in forrestfield'

interesting comment on youtube from the video owner/publisher:
My video has had a legal threat put against it to be removed, but i believe in the right of sight (if i can see it i can film it) and i also believe in freedom of press, to keep the public informed and they can make up there own minds, i just happened to be lucky enuff to see this happening when visiting a friend.

Well toottooty seeing that you know everything.Toottoot wrote:I can't believe that he was stupid enough to even try that!!!
I think that clip indicates a training need or a procedure to be put in place.
Then again it was only a Ford so you couldn't have expected much more.
A - Why dont you write to the council and outline your procedure and you never know that they may not take you up on your offer!

Oh ok. Do you work out the torque from the gear ratios?written_ficton wrote:nope, more torque going forward.......Toottoot wrote:I think that the reverse gear ratio is lower so there would be more torque in reverse.

I don't intend to offer them anything. Sorry if you were misled by my post. If they have threatened legal action against the clip poster then they are fully aware of the situation.written_ficton wrote:Well toottooty seeing that you know everything.Toottoot wrote:I can't believe that he was stupid enough to even try that!!!
