We used to put water in the tractor tyres when I was in landscape gardening. It also had a 50 gallon drum full of concrete hanging over the back of it, for. Dragging the lorries out in the muddy season. If the lorries were stuck really good, you had to be careful that you controlled the clutch properly, otherwise you would find the front wheels round your neck.

I wonder if it was the same elderly Metro owner who parked her Metro touching the wall outside my pub workplace window and then went shopping. She returned later, got in and tried to start her car. It wouldn't, so off she went and a little later, a breakdown van arrived. The mechanic jumped in the Metro, turned the key, and it started. "What did you do, young man?" she enquired of the mechanic, mystified. "Pressed the clutch pedal and took it out of gear!" he replied as he jumped back in his van.
