Today we had Crouch Recovery pick up a 55 ton chieftain tank that was last used in the popular 007 Film Goldeneye. Looks like this is going to be quite the challenge to fix. Ive never had tracks quite as stuck as this before!

@aserta11 күн бұрын
It's not that either. It's the fact that the Foden wasn't level with the tank plate and dipped down in the front, if you go back to the scene, you can see the two bar push the rear up in the air ... essentially negating the second set of rears. I don't particularly get why it as designed with that tow bar mount so high (as one of the options) because these shituations happen and they almost always behave the same way. You want an even point option as much as you want the high ones... odd flaw on an otherwise pretty well rounded tow/recover package unit. l

While I was watching this, it occurred to me. There must be one hell of a lot of privately owned tanks around this country of ours, and I think it's only a shotgun licence for the big guns too? Makes you think on the lonely dark roads around Dorset! Especially as the Army let one fall off of a trailer a few years back near here.

You guys really knocked it out of the park this time. Poor old Foden wasn't beaten in anything her tyres had no grip on steel originally, then she was asked to move at an awkward angle ON GRAVEL. No contest! Unfair disadvantage. She shouldn't get downhearted, some of us still love her no matter what. Rest of vid, well Jack in the Box was different. So the whole thing looks to be in indifferent condition, typical Mr Hewes buy. Thanks for the visit, best wishes to all and thanks Jack for being the star.

There was more than one tank featured in Goldeneye. The tanks in the Defence Ministry parking lot in the movie, the T-54/55 on the streets in the chase, and then a mockup that was on top of another vehicle to look like a T-54/55. And mockup to get hit by the train. The T-54/55 from the GoldenEye street chase was also in the Ian McKellen movie Richard III.

Well Ted, when's the rest of the tank getting delivered? It looks like the souvenir hunters / vandals have had a field day. Crouch did very well to load it. Is there something even better than a Foden? Yes, Jack can fit in the box, but Mrs Westaway will be having words (many) if Jack is stored in the box overnight, not ideal for newlyweds!

I wonder how your american viewers hear the banter in commentary. I worked in LA for a while and banter between Brits, horrified the other Americans around us. They could not comprehend how we could verbally abuse each other, which, to them, was fighting talk. And then go drinking together. They expected us to begin the fisticuffs at any time. When we realised what was happening, and the stress it was causing orhers, we had to sit down with them all, and explain, it's not what we say, but how we say it that matters. They took all the words said literally.
