Parking Fail.

Failed parking attempt in the work van, got super bogged and had to get a massive tractor to pull the van out.....how embarrassing. Me and the boys dug for 45mins and couldn't get it out, then i called t-roy to come and have a look (he is the ops manager and in charge of all company vans) and he had a quick look and said we had no hope.....so we had to call Nakazawa san (he is like japanese Mcguyver!!) and he brought the tyre shovel around to drag the van out. 2 hours of wasted work time, and wasting everyone else's time = FAIL.

She's well and truly sunk under that front right wheel

The front chassis rails were sitting on the raised snow between the wheel grooves, so the front wheels were not touching the ground anymore....time to call Mcguyver!!

Of course due to the camber of the hill, the van was dragged out whilst grinding against this snowbank....lucky it was soft snow and it didnt scratch the van!!



This is what pulled the van out. I dont have any pictures of when it happened as i didnt want Nakazawa san to think it was a big joke.
