Another day another burnt coach. Moved this 20 miles just so the engine can be taken out. Ended up having to push it into the workshop

I used to drive an Isuzu NQR recovery truck for an luxury car hire company and they sent me on a job to pick up a Rolls Royce phantom..

It was so wide that it wouldn't go on and ended up having to get a bigger truck down.. :oops:

Loaded this for some of the Nigerian customers last week. There were a cut up avensis and another cut up micra to still go on. Unfortunately I had to go out on a collection before I could see the finished load.
The flat bed came in as scrap as it was a massive test fail. They managed to drive it from Near cambridge down the A14 to Ipswich
Just insane !
