Whist your Foden was in Scotland I think it was used by specialist Recovery Team on the Scottish Rally Scene. Back in the day (2001) myself and my mate were competing in a Forest Rally near Dumfries and had a big "off", basically we crashed into the trees down a 1 in 3 hill and I thought the car was unrecoverable. After a long wait, the race finished and the recovery team turned up with your Foden, they had a bit of a chat and scatched their chins a few times, then sprang into action and winched the car back up the hill via a few Pullys attached to big trees. The Rally Car was a total wreck and they then used the crane to load it onto a trailer to get it out of the Forest. Despite feeling pissed off with crashing out of the event and wrecking the car, I can still remember being mightily impressed with the power of the Foden winching the wreck out of the Forest up that huge gradient.

I remember the BARV was suppose to be a function over form project too. You can tell you actually care about the Foden as it seems to be one of your best purchases. It definitely earns it keep for you. As a merch idea I was thinking you could make a “Hewes Towing” shirt. One the front a simple “Hewes Towing”. On the back saying “it takes one” with the silhouette of the Foden above. Below it says “to tow one” with silhouette of a Centurion.

If seen far worse welding from so called "professionals" and if you look at any Japanese bike right upto the early 1980s the welding was shocking but it worked! As for the colour of the Foden I love it it looks menacing and moody which is spot on. Great job as always and thanks to TED for overseeing this stage of the proceedings!

When I worked as a contractor for the U.S. Army and I didn't have a wheel jack to remove and install a wheel I used a 2 wheel hand truck to help do the job. Just slide the lower plate under the tire, lift and pull, the tire slides off on to the hand truck and to install do the opposite.

Great to see the tools getting some love. My ex boss had a HGV training company and he would never look after the trucks (tools of his trade) he'd always wash them so much so they were rusting to death, but actually servicing them or doing preventative maint was not his strong point. He couldn't understand why it was costing thousands of pounds a month on various repairs of his crappy Renault's!

Mic works good. I understand the losing-the-will-to-live, but hopefully the video goes a small way to paying for some of the work and helping preserve a bit of military history. By the way, I'm curious, do you have any idea what the base vehicle of the Foden weighs, minus the heavy wrecker gear and the crane? Vaguely wondering whether the 6x6 or even the 6x8 would have worked as the basis for a truck-mounted SPG.
