Today we got our christmas-tree, self cutted down in the forest nearby. The owner (the state) had opened one christmas-tree-plantation for that.
It was quite full with people, nearly like a family-party. Also two trailers were there, where you could buy Bratwurst and Glühwein (a kind of glogg).
I must admit, that over here, on the Westphalian countryside, it's an absolute must, that at any kind of public events, there are trailers with Bratwurst and beer (Glühwein in the Christmas-time).
When our family got the needed two trees, I had presented a little dirt-track-show.
The cars were standing on a wet, quite muddy field. The most of them were stuck and had to be towed out by the tractor. The responsible forest ranger had just brought one with him (a Case from the 70ies, quite rare).
We came with my Omega and the luggage-trailer of my father-in-law. I could start on the grass, but then I stucked also. But I could go on without any help. I used the old trick: swinging out, made by using the rear and first -better second- gear, changing within a few seconds. During that, the trailer was smashed with kilogrammes of mud, a result of the back-wheel drive.
When the car was rolling again, I used the second gear, quite a lot of gas and was leaving the field - more slippering than driving.
My wife and her family have told me later, that the people around (some dozens were looking at the car-park and several, mainly the kids, have made bets, which car can leave the ground and which one need the tractor), were really yelling "Oh, look, how the Omega with the trailer is coming! Look, how he's slippering! Watch the mud-spouts!" and so on.
When I arrived the paved ground, I really got some applause.
Unfortunately noone had filmed it, I only made some photos at home from the mud-splashes on the trailer.
Unfortunately I'm still too stupid to mount them here. I don't no why, but I cannot fix them.
I even have some interesting pic of an onknown threewheeler for the "car identifying"-thread...
