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, , 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,

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!
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!Previously:
2010 FL2 TD4e GS
‘93 Defender 110 200TDi CSW - still got this, non-runner on SORN.
‘87 Defender 90 4 cyl Petrol
‘83 110 CSW V8 - best ever!
Range Rover 2-door V8 (not sure of year - 4-speed box and vacuum diff switch)
Series III SWB Diesel
Thats some recovery truck.Makes the one I used to drive look like a toy.
Flack

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
