Great save - really wish I could get away with the same standards of health & safety that they undertook, upon my sites in the UK !!!!

Didn't prevent my watching every minute of it, guess it must be a matter of attention span and mine... Sorry, what was the topic of this thread again?
Seriously; loved it, this is a completely mad rescue and for that, you have my respect.
Pity AarOsc didn't pay attention, he's missed a great bit of nude female mud wrestling there.

40 years outdoors and only one seized hub, that's pretty good going, apart from those tiny little flat spots the tyres it's almost good to go
