[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 285425, member: 4485"] Mate you've gone & made it personal against me just because I put a "like" on a post. (I've now removed it to help relieve your stress in life). At the end of the day I hadn't said anything at all!! At first glance I agreed with Nightjar. To me it doesn't look right. I've actually been bogged in very similar stuff to what aussiefarmer describes - difference is you could see my tracks for at least 2-3 car lengths getting gradually deeper before breaking through the "crust" pretty much down to the sills. After reading AF's post then I concede it may be feasible but nothing I've personally experienced to just drive into an isolated area of it like that anyway. I've only been stupid enough to get bogged the once so far & I'm hoping not to do it again anytime soon - especially when by myself as I was. I had to hitch back into town covered in mud (no phone coverage) & was lucky the local postie took pity on me allowing me in his car on a post bag. It took me & my old man a couple of hours to get it out by digging around each wheel area to get a jack in then slowly jacking it up + packing with timber under the wheels until we got it up enough to pull it out. At one point I thought it might be staying there! :8 [/QUOTE]
