The 4x4 Action Group to the rescue !!!

#1

Post by Mad Manny »

This is why a National Club of dedicated 4x4 experts is so vital:

This evening @ 17:09 a friend of mine, Beyers, from Silverfields Krugersdorp texts me:

Oom Manny. Do you know someone in Sasolburg who has a 4X4?
One of my friends friends is stuck behind the stadium.

I immediately put him on to Club & Forum member Muttley (Erno).

He contacts Erno & Erno immediately shot out to Sasolburg is his well kitted Fortuner D-4D.

Erno came across 4 vehicles, stuck in the mud & long grass.
These are just normal guys who don't do 4x4'ing & don't belong to a 4x4 Club.

Erno recovered them all, one by one;
1. An FJ
2. A Fortuner
3. A Disco 2
4. A new HiluxGD6

Well done Erno, you are a hero & the 4x4 Action Group congratulates you.

Get those guys to join the Club so we can get them some training & experience!

I have only posted a pic of Erno's vehicle as we never asked their permission to post their vehicles...

Martin, the praise must go to Beyers who used his head & approached me & to Erno who is the hero.
All I did was reply to Beyers referring him to Erno...

Well done club members!

How about a recovery fee equivalent to club membership and that be the condition of recovery?
Just join!

Nice one guys.
This is the best way to advertise the club and get new members.
