Seeing as this thread has been hijacked by Land Rovers, here's a video of Gary's Archaeological Support Unit earning its keep at a metal detecting rally (the action starts at 20 seconds).

It's not my video, but I was there at the time and well remember how bad the mud was. One caravan needed two 4x4s and a car, all roped in line astern, to get it off the site.

The guy had never been so fast in reverse :-)
The best ones were the old people who didn't know which way their steering wheels were facing. I never did anything on that rally... just pull out cars and caravans day and night.
