[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 477731, member: 1414"] This brings back memories of Fitting & Turning apprenticeship days. Being the "boys" in the shop one of our early machining jobs was to split VW rims and weld in a 3" more or less spacer for the ever increasing popularity of VW dune buggies. Can recall more than one occasion where someone got stuck in the hollow between the dunes. As most know a VW wouldn't pull the skin off a custard so another bug couldn't tow out the bogged one. Four bolts and a couple of wires and we could lift the engine out of the stranded beetle. Load the engine onto another buggie, drive out then return and tow the engine free one out. Boys will be boys..... [/QUOTE]
