It always astonishes me how willing onlookers are to stand within the flail-range of tow ropes. If that had busted it would have taken about 10 men out in one big bloody mess. But the clip is hillarious - what was the busted vehicle anyway! A Suziki!

I noticed that too. And there were enough of them there to gently manhandle that car out of the snow.

Actually, there was a video floating around here a few months ago of a Sylvia(!) in a ditch, and a 4wd pulled up to help it out. They tried accelerating at full speed, snapped a few ropes, nearly ended up destroying both cars in the process. And yes, they were Kiwi.
& after that, why didn't they take the wheel off that was under the chassis. Dug a nice wee trench

Haha yeah that's the one. Silly Kiwis.

I think you will find it's a Duramax engine, not a Detroit. The Dodge Rams have a 6.9 liter Cummins engine.

Is it too sensible to pay a proper towie to get it out safely and save a more damage to the car! Also, when did rural NZ guys stop pulling their trousers up!
