smo Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 "Baby on board" is a actually a good idea, it alerts the emergency services in case of an accident that there is an occupant of that car who cannot get out by themselves."princess on board" or "baby on board, please back off" are complete rubbish however. They only work though if you take them out when the baby isnt in the car,otherwise said emergency services could be looking for a baby who could either allegedly be in the car, or have been thrown free when in reality they were never there at all.

upnover4x4 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 kind of wandering off topic but if you carry any flammable/dangerous items, you must/should advertise this to the emergency services. When not carrying the labels should be removed. Ditto the baby issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 why not a normal winch sail...and a couple of pegs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathtub Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Wow! That sounds absolutely perfect. I hope you manage to achieve your aims.Price wise I agree with Tony. I use 3 Russians as they dploy the rope & lay on it whilst winching but cost fraction of a Winch sail !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I use 3 Russians as they dploy the rope & lay on it whilst winching but cost fraction of a Winch sail !! lol, nice thinking, I guess they also double as "waffle boards" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingsid Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 ive seen both steel and synthetic snap and yes steel does make more recoil and will make more of a mess on a person or vehicle but surely there shouldnt be much difference with people having a "sail" to something heavy that slides along the ropeNobby I don't do winching or Challenges, however isn't the item on the zuki mainly designed to stop the rope from chaffing on the ground on hills rather than as a sail? As to the location of the sail, I have never understood the random nature of placing the sail at the mid point other than as a warning flag? Marc.
