brighouse shed Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 As we enter the alleged second ice age this week can i suggest a little challenge for all to participate in: Namely to be the first person to tow a Prius, this winter, with photographic evidence preferably with the tree hugger smiling in gratitude next to that lovely land rover. For those in London an additional medal for towing a liveried TfL vehicle into the LEZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveturnbull Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I rescued a Prius last weekend - from the one small bit of mud in the car park at Kimmeridge Bay that it had been driven straight into. Didn't get a pic tho, so that probably invalidates my entry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landybehr Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Rules are strict, I´m afraid. Pity, I couldn´t make a video last year when a Grand Cherokee almost failed on the very flat spot of a icy road when it towed 4-5 sleighs behind it with a dozen of adults on them. It really was level ground. Half of the "load" had to get off the sleighs and help pushing, which, admittedly didn´t take much effort to get it moving again. Tires were street/summer biased, I guess. Don´t know it gave it an advantage to my MTs - with which I never had any problem last year even with stop-starts on +10% gradients. Both of us had lockers in the axles and permanent 4wd. You cannot imagine how big my smile was. Owner of the Jeep is not among the favourite neighbours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I wont be taking part. If I see a Prius stuck in snow im simply going to drive by (take a picture) and LOL to myself... they will soon learn. I will happily help out anyone else i see who is genuinely stuck. G ps. great idea though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve King Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 How many points for towing a G-Wizz?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 For those in London an additional medal for towing a liveried TfL vehicle into the LEZ. After having attempting to deal with them on the phone I might be tempted to put up a mini-keg from my local brewery to the first person that offers photographic proof of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C18RCH Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 im up for it theres 6 in the street i live along TWIZZLE Unfair advantage To be honest I just want to see a prius being towed out of the snow regardless of who does it. Preferably with a greenpeace sticker on it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 A truly excellent idea. I shall be a huntin' Prius. But, I will only pull them out if they're polite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
