A Recovery Gone Very Wrong........

Hi Stephen. I have watched the last couple of series of that show and found it mostly enjoyable so like you, wait in anticipation for either the whole episode, or that it is in the next series. All the best to you and family over the festive season as well and many thanks for all your informative reports and great photos over the year. Cheers, Bob.

Hi Stephen & the best of the season to you also. I suspect that now that Simon's vehicle is rolled they will be able now to use the winch as the car's lack of breaks will no longer be an issue. Once Jason's vehicle is extracted they will then winch Simon's back on it's wheels.

I'll be watching with interest.

Question do you like the new commercial format or the old community TV format? I've yet to make up my mind but the hour long episodes are better.

Cheers

Dunc.

In a perfect world you can always snatch straight ahead but in the real world you quite often do recoveries at all kinds of odd angles. Would be good to know the outcome I'm sure they travel with 1 or 2 camera cars which would have helped.

Suspect a set up...?
According to the tracks, they may have made more than one attempt to get bogged.
Could be at Lorella Springs?

Cheers,
Peter

Looks like a pair of gung-ho rank amateurs to me, who plan nothing, and run at everything like a bull at a gate. Why would you drive straight out onto tidal flats with an incoming tide not far off - and why would you drive out on tidal flats without getting out and checking the ground? That's a guaranteed way of seeing your vehicle go under the waves.

Why would you snatch and jerk on a sharp angle, when your vehicle is already overloaded to the max, and top-heavy as buggery? If he didn't roll in this episode, you'd only have to wait 5 more minutes.
I wonder if he even understands what a savage sideways jerk does to chassis' and towbars?? He'll be whining in the next video about his rig crabbing down the road.

These blokes are just showing every viewer why a large % of four-wheel-drivers are regarded as just idiots with too much money, and no appreciation of the value of expensive vehicles and equipment. If they were working for me, they wouldn't last 5 mins with their lack of equipment care.

YouTube is full of 4WD idiots. Get a look at the clown ramming the car on the beach repeatedly.

Jackass style video made for TV. I certainly will not be recommending such silly antics to anyone. The teaser has been extensively discussed on several 4WD oriented forums.

I found one of the accompanying videos quite intriguing;
