Default Recovery

I uploaded a video showing part of a Hammond recovery operation. See Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cjduhFyTkA

This vid will give you an idea of just how fast Bob can reel a CMP on board his trailer. So, if you see the Hammond Barn crew tooling around with an empty trailer, make sure your CMP is locked up...

Great find!

Default Not far from the truth Alex...

Last weekend Grant and Rob did manage to bring home a C60X...... known as the long awaited Galetta road C60X.

Pictures to follow....... no rest for the wicked..... and got a lead on a ?15a running...... hope it is a Chev and not a Ford.... yeck...spit.. spit... but if the price is right..... we might rescue the poor thing.

Stay tuned..

Boob

Great video, I was half expecting to see the trailer and pickup being pulled into the picture and the HUP standing firm.

Jordan, It seems that only Fords CMPs give us problems with recoverys...The Chevs continue to move with grace and style, while the Fords have to be pulled kicking and fighting all the way.

There are a few out there that swing both ways. However, I do like Gunner's comment ..."If it is a CMP, I will love it." I'm paraphrasing here, but you get the idea. Can't wait until Bobbie chimes in...
