Hi mate

Ur so welcome and glad u enjoyed it , indeed was impressed by the recovery , his new hand built truck certainly coming into its own

Was gobsmacked they managed to nick the wheels, puts a whole new meaning on breaking a vehicle, Whistle , wonder what kind of money was paid out from the insurance company , imagine at least $2-3k with the cost of using his wrecker, staff, fuel , etc

Also the fine the owner will get as I think he said $1,000 fine then 200 per day , been there approx 2 x months so an unlucky number around 13k but assume the insurance company will pick up the tab

Also seen diesel Dave do some awesome recoveries out on the salt lakes , see he bought a black hawk helicopter a little while back , bet the upkeep cost of that is eye watering

Didn’t hear what happened to the driver or any passengers

Apologises as I’m waffling as per usual, Laughing

Yes, thanks for posting that. Amazing recovery and really brave guys to take these weights of vehicle so close to a loose edge - especially the poor guy doing it as backward tow! Shocked

I used to watch this guy's content but found that the camera work was just too vomit-inducing. Glad to see that he has managed to improve the videos to the point where they are now watchable!

Must confess was brilliant sitting down one weekend and watching Matt build the wrecker from scratch as he bought in 2 x lengths of box steel placing them onto his car lift

Incredible how Matt and Tom didn’t have any plans , very talented Bow down
