Stuck on snow

I visited my garage today with good intentions like; change the whole front brake assemblys, with new parts, and some joints of the front suspension, but it ended to be a fight against the nature, as there was a lot more snow than before....it was really hard to get the bug in front of the garage. after that i didnt remember that theres also the bearing parts to change and like many times things wont happen so fast... i managed to change one front drum and also the other inner parts, but after that i decided to raise the front as high as i can to have more ground clearance...ok thats done also, but this time it started to come a bit darker, 
I packed my stuff in the v-dub and started to try to go home, but the weather was something like +1 or zero, so the snow was pretty slippery, and heavy....and the bug got stuck many times and ways...
I managed to drive in 30 cm of snow something like 100 meters to another route to the main roads, but without any trails or whasoever in a deep snow this was ment to be unsuccesfull... I was stuck bigtime! And no one near... But i called several neighbours, and one great lady promised to pick us up with the audi quattro... And after 5 minutes there was a car coming to pick up the stuck beetle. It wasnt an easy task for the audi too, we managed to get forward and in some parts the audi driver was going like a maniac... But the reason was that there was so much snow partially that the audi was also making its best to not get stuck...i really felt great after this episode, but my idiotic trust for a "bug with wintertyres-goes everywhere" is gone.


Time to use the showel...and sand...


The front yard...
