Rope around both front wishbones surely? Just suggested that and isnt there the famous metal tow loop that always gets bent under the car? I suggested maybe getting some rope around that

Good to hear they are ok now! Impressive how everyone's willing to help, really great to read.
It's kinda odd to hear that the tow hook is missing though. I've used it at Spa and have put it back into the toolkit. Perhaps it fell out and is under/next to the spare wheel?

agree with Nigel, the shipping hook is the best bet to get it moving.
depending how strong the rope is, you could try the sub frame..
offer is still open if we are needed later!

Can I suggest that later in the year, we have a Coupe meeting here:- http://www.thecockinnheadley.com/#/the-pub/4529362954The landlady was genuinely concerned for their safety and immediately offered to go and fetch them in her own 4x4, as well as put them up at the pub There's a chance that Klaas and family will be back in the spring - wouldn't it be great to have a HUGE Coupe meet there This simply MUST happen!

A very sound idea. I'm up for this.

well, jsut spoken to KJ and pete.
Now this is the problem at hand.
they do not have the towing eye to put on, the one pete has is to small to fit the coupe.
ive advised them where to tie a rope to ( random hook, wish bones, sub frame ect)
BUT...
they have hills on both sides of them.
me and mario may still be going down to carry out an amiego rescue!!
but we will know with in the hour!

You really do make me laugh May have to dig out the purple jumpers seriously, be careful IF you do attempt this - we're now talking just rescuing the car, and i'm not convinced ANY car is worth risking the purple jumpers your health for

Lmfao!!!
Mate, to klaas I'm sure there are more aspects to it.
His family possession and other stuff.
But end if the day me and Mario are only doing this if KJ gives us the go-ahead.
I trust him, he would not put us in any danger. How much snow is there??

Yeh not actually sure why they need the car moved, I can only assume Klaas wants to attempt to get back home tomorrow?
It does seem that the sensible thing would be to hold tight. Im not entirely sure that they have a place to stay for the night though? He mentioned in one of his texts that they still needed to find a place to sleep

Marco / Mario - whilst I admire your willingness to help, I reckon if you set off now, you might be there by this time tomorrow. NOTHING is moving very far down there and all that will happen is that there will be half a dozen people camping out in the pub, rather than three (or four if PeteP doesn't go home soon)
not sure why they are moving it Nigel.. also, with out sounding stupid (Which is hard for me) if pete managed to get there in his punto, there must be hope of getting him and the car away. as i said we are only going to go to them if KJ wants us to and needs us there.

He mentioned in one of his texts that they still needed to find a place to sleep Surely the pub landlady will know of the nearest B&B? Alternatively, we need to access the Coupe club member's database and see who is closest and start making some calls

that would be a great idea..
also, if we or any one can get him and family a place to stay for the night then im guessing PeteP can bring him to that location.
Nigel, any thing more i can do to help mate please let me know!
i do nothing all day so i can happily sit and make calls till 5pm.
