whats this all about?

It looks like an XJ being winched through a frozen pond. maybe they're testing the snorkel?--or they're just Fing nuts.

someone who can translate please tell me why they would do that
 
Title:
Drive a bit finely

First line:
On a beautiful day you will drive a bit with your 4x4.

Second:
Unfortunately, you become a bit stuck on a small ridge.

Third:
Nothing on hand to help. Using a winch line to help steady you, will quickly get you downstairs.

Fourth:
Unless it doesn't help and you find yourself stuck for the second time, but now transverse on the ridge.

Fifth:
Yes, also on the other hand it is very steep.

Sixth:
Even worth trying again, or is that ice strong enough to drive across?
06.jpg


Seventh:
Not enough.
07.jpg


Eighth:
Even with three winch lines you can no longer get out in reverse

Ninth:
No choice but to link them to the front and draw.

Tenth:
This cannot bode well for your square windows.

Eleventh:
Look now, its the Loch Ness Monster!
11.jpg


Twelfth:
Since it must be done slowly, we're in the late hours.
12.jpg


Thirteenth:
Then the bullbar tears off to the side. So much for the winch lines.
13.jpg


Fourteenth:
At dawnbreak, it appears the pond has frozen much more.
14.jpg


Fifteenth:
Also, up close it looks to be not very good.
15.jpg


Sixteenth:
There's the needed rescuer!
16.jpg


Seventeenth:
Once on dry land, the damage can be assessed.
17.jpg


Eighteenth:
The interior is as cold as ice.
18.jpg


Nineteenth:
Pay attention to the enormous quantity of rear space.
19.jpg


Twentieth:
Only a couple of dents on this side.
20.jpg


21:
And from this side it looks like it came from the showroom.
21.jpg


22:
Only a little damage to the front end.

I wonder how many times this will keep being RE posted here?
 
Repost or not, it was hilarious (especially as it wasn't MY Jeep), and I needed a good laugh today.

Gotta hope the spotters with all NAXJA events are better than that, though. Note to self: Don't send newbies onto partially frozen lakes.
 
Wait one... I *think* this is the original, the OTHERS are repost. If Im correct, sorry. But Ive seen it like 4 times here already. :)

And yes, someone ELSE'S Jeep, funny! :)
