ASPINALL LEFT STRANDED NEEDING CRANE RESCUE

NATHAN ASPINALL has revealed the bizarre late-night drama that left him stuck in a country lane needing a CRANE to rescue his car.

The Asp admitted the whole nightmare started because he was “in the dog house” after a row with his partner and did not want to go home.

World No14 Aspinall lifted the lid on the strangest situation he has ever been in, which ended with him stranded on a rural road trying to physically LIFT his own motor.

He told the Happy Hour Podcast: “This was before we had kids.

“I was driving home, but I was in the dog house, so I didn’t want to go home.

“I went for a bit of a whizz in the car and ended up going up these country lanes.

“Then I tried to turn around, but my car kind of fell off this drive. The back end kind of fell off this drive.

“It’s like one o’clock in the morning, and I’m panicking.

“I’m like, ‘Oh my God, what am I going to do?’

“So, I’m revving the car, trying to move forward and back, because it’s not going anywhere.

“So, me — no idea what made me think to do this — I got out the car and I tried to pick it up and turn it around.

“Then they had to phone the AA and get, like, a crane to lift it round. Honestly, true story.

“But at this point, I was panicking, so I ended up having to phone the AA up and I’m like, ‘I’m stuck up… it’s called something like Chadkirk Chapel.’

“I’m like, ‘My car’s stuck. Can you come and help me?’ They had to get, like, a specialist crane.

“All because I had a row and didn’t want to go home. Then I got back and I got b******* because I left the car!

“Cost me £800 to get it out.”

Aspinall also opened up on owning a tortoise called Tiny Tim, admitting the reptile only lasted three months in the family home before becoming seriously ill.

He added: “I used to have a tortoise.

“So, a tortoise can live in the Sahara desert, in the coldest conditions anywhere. We had it for three months, and it got ill. Three months in the Aspinall house, and the tortoise was f*****.

“So, we had to sell it, we had to give it back to the place we got it from. Honest to God, it had this big lump on its back.

“So, I had to try and inject his leg to make it better, but obviously every time I’m trying to do it, he’s doing this.

“I’m doing it, and then the second it’s like this, so I was like, ‘You know what, I can’t be arsed, you can have it back.’

“And that was it.”
