Big misadventure on the weekend. (read I'm an idiot)

hail someone with a 4wd (preferabbly with a winch if your physically as well as mechanically stuck) give them a $50 or so and ask them to tow you to the nearest road. thats when NRMA come into play, easy way to make your car not start if you want to save the hassle of them trying to fix it, just switch the leads around and it will screw with the fireing order. remember which ones match up to which plugs to save effort down the track

have you recovered it yet? depending on the area, you may not have any wheels when you get back to it!
