Random. Doesn't look that "stuck" to me.

stuck = broken down.

The choice of vehicle perfectly illustrates the mindset of someone who would consider driving a vehicle up Snowdon: very, very stupid.

I have to say I'm slightly confused at the choice of description used by the second red-socked imbecile: 'it's very small minded' Eh?

Ambitious, yes.  Small-minded would be using a Fronterror to take the kids to school every day.  :undecided:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Must have been abducted by aliens, then suddenly in shock and horror they realized they hadn't abducted giant pig but a Fucterror instead. So they soon chucked it out the nearest air lock whilst they were over Snowdon hoping that no other had to see the horrid sight again.

and that explains how a Fucterror could get that far up a mountain.
Passat B5.5 2.3 V5 170, with all the extras.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

 :grin: The fact that they drove up at night too. Surely only substance fuelled madness can explain that and the choice of vehicle. Sobering up they decided to leave it where it was and hope no-one saw.

Or is it Top Gear's fault for pandering to lowest common denominator? Keep that up long enough and inevitably some cretin will decide "I'm going to drive up a mountain".

They are currently in negotiations with park staff as to best way to get it down. Whether that be on the railway, broken up into pieces and carried down, helicopter and winch or perhaps the most outrageous idea of all, driven back down the way it came up :rolleyes:

Good luck for the climb, dextrose energy tablets are 2 for 3 in tesco just now :lipsrsealed:
