Hier j'ai trouvé la limite de la Tercel ! Si !
Planté de chez planté, dans la neige dure et gelée jusqu'au haut des pare-chocs. Même pas moyen de patiner vraiment, c'est l'embrayage qui a commencé àpartir en fumée. Pelletage + Un coup de pouce (de mains) et les chenilles qui grattent àoutrance pour arriver àsortir !
Un peu plus loin, je m'arrête pour regarder la carte et je me range un peu pour ne pas rester sur la route. Sauf que les traces dans la neige n'étaient pas au milieu de la chaussée. Au moment de repartir... zip dans le fossé. Une fois que les roues ne touchent plus... pas la peine de patiner. Un gentil Range Rover qui passait par làm'a câblé sur 1m pour revenir sur la route.
Mais l'honneur est Sauf !
Car un peu plus loin, j'avançais àgrand peine dans 20 à40 cm de neige dure en essayant d'éviter àla fois le fossé et le ravin, pied au fond en 2ème pour passer les congères en force quand j'ai vu un gros Patrol GR couché dans le fossé. Pas moyen de remonter ses 2T sur la chaussée. J'ai monté deux paires de chenilles. Dans le fossé en question de la neige jusqu'àla taille ! Le Patrol, réhaussé de 6cm pourtant, en a entre le pare-choc et les phares. Je creuse pour fixer le câble. Super première... GAAAAZ !
J'ai dû le tirer sur plusieurs dizaines de mètres pour parvenir àremonter sur la route. Lui était pourtant plein turbo en 2ème longue... Il a fait bulldozer: devant lui la neige s'accumulait plus haut que son capot mais encore plus devant il y avait une Tercel de 1000Kg et 21 ans: c'est ça qui l'a sauvé !
Amateur éclairé de 4x4 depuis des années ayant eu un BJ et un HJ, il était bien obligé de reconnaître que dans la gamme Toyota il y avait un modèle intéressant (impressionnant) qui lui avait échappé !
Il n'y croyait pas vraiment... Quand je suis arrivé vers lui au début, il m'a dit qu'un copain àlui arrivait (2h de route) et m'a demandé si j'avais une pelle. C'est finalement avec une petite Tercel grattant bien de ses roues de 13" qu'il a pu s'en sortir.
Sacrée petite bête, va !

Je ne comprends pas le français. So I used Babel Fish to translate. 
Yesterday I found the limit of Tercel! If! Planted at planted, in the snow hard and frozen until the top of the bumpers. Not average to even patinate really, it is the clutch which started to leave in smoke. Shovelling + a blow of inch (of hands) and the caterpillars which scrape with excess to manage to leave! A little further, I stop to look at the chart and I line up a little not to remain on the road. Except that the traces in snow were not in the medium of the roadway. At the time of setting out again... zip in the ditch. Once that the wheels do not touch... not the sorrow any more to patinate. Nice Arranges Rover which passed by there cabled me on 1m to return on the road. But the honor is except! Because a little further, I advanced with large pains in 20 to 40 cm of hard snow while trying to avoid at the same time the ditch and the ravine, foot at the bottom in 2nd to pass the snow-drifts forces some when I saw large Patrol GR. laid down in the ditch. Not average to go up its 2T on the roadway. I assembled two pairs of caterpillars. In the ditch in question of snow until the size! Patrol, réhaussé of 6cm however, in A enters the avoid-shock and the headlights. I dig to fix the cable. Super first... GAAAAZ! I had to draw it on several tens of meters to manage to go up on the road. He was however full turbo in 2nd long... It made bulldozer: in front of him snow accumulated higher than its cap but even more in front of Tercel of 1000Kg and 21 years ago: it is that which saved it! Enlightened amateur of 4x4 since years having had a BJ and a HJ, it was well obliged to recognize that in the Toyota range there was an interesting model (impressive) which had escaped him! He did not believe in it really... When I arrived towards him at the beginning, he said to me that a buddy with him arrived (2h of road) and asked to me whether I had a shovel. It is finally with small Tercel scraping well its wheels of 13"that it could be left there. Crowned small animal, goes!

I noticed that Babelfish does some "good" translations....but better than I could manage for sure.
Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

Sacrée petite bête, va! is quite not translatable...
That's what a cow-boy could say to his favourite horse when it has worked more and better than what he should demand or hope from it.
You could say that when you're hurt in the wood, your old dog understands it and fetchs help on it's own. Sacrée petite bête, va!
An old and small 1Ton car was not expected to drag one of the heaviest lifted truck of the market, especially when it's deeply in the ditch with frozen snow up to the hood...
