No lose there's millions of those jap pick ups about.

Shows how you should recover properly. Remember years ago being snatch recovered the defender never drove the same.

Now if I was directing, I'd of cut to a scene of a few salt water crocs stirring and feeding into the water.

Just to add an extra bit of drama!! Wink

Thanks for posting Tim, gave me a laugh. It's like to the two fosters guys going off roading.

I would have thought that the obvious approach would be to have anchored the winch truck to the large trailer that was side on behind it right from the start. I suppose that it wouldn't make such exciting viewing though!

The old phrase "all the gear and no idea" springs to mind.
