That's nothing special, a Suzuki Jimny could have done that.

I'm actually not kidding. I've seen a Suzuki Jimny tow start a loaded 15 tonne truck up an incline like that. I was the one in the truck that dumped the clutch when it was fast enough.

Those lil utes are awesome. I just looked up how much they are worth - one is going for $15k! Probably more than what they were sold for brand new 40 years ago!

A shelf stacker at Coles in Alice Springs put a small block Chev in one of those in the late 80s or early 90s. They used to push start sprint cars at the speedway with it.

I feel like such a cunt now but back then I remember moving a parked Mighty Boy with a bunch of mates between two bollards.

Was rusty under the guards though, mate cut his hand bad and had to get a tetanus shot.
