I did a bit of work for a vehicle recovery company at one time. They had aquired a 4x4 ex army fire engine. it was all automatic with a V8 rover petrol engine. This was to be the answere to go anywhere vehicles. I got a call one day to park up my Iveco and get the 4X4 out as there was a car stolen and dumped minus wheels in a soft field. Spare wheel were fitted. the 4x4 enters the scene now. we hook up a towing cable and give the driver the signal to start pulling. up come the revs and she moves forward with the car dutifuly following behind. as it gets to the soft bit the growling of the engine continue but the forward motion changed to a downward motion as it dug itself in up to the axles. had a hell of a game getting it out using two winches. It was converted to a perkins diesel and put up for sale after that. So much for go anywhere vehicles
