I owned an old MG Magnette ZA back in the 60s, while stripping out the interior panel's for a refurb I found bold inserts welded into the the door pillars. I asked my brother a film stunt man and garage owners about them and he told me they were safety bolt mounting points. He gave me a set of two Irving belts that fitted perfectly. So MG were way ahead of the time. Just because the cab didn't come with belt's it may have the mounts fitted, better to be safe than sorry.

Best video yet. Very impressed with the careful and professional way you handled your customers car, no need to rush, do it right. 👍 Then came Mr Palmer! 🤯 Very well done mate. A master- class in closing down a nosey muppet. Brilliant 😂😂
Gregg ...you may be a one man gang member but you get the job done...slow and seady is the way .Keep up the good work,stay safe,keep alert and good luck.
That was handled very professionally well done mate its clear to see how you were able to start and grow a difficult business and be successful 👍 Loving the content by the way only recently discovered you, you get my subscription! Thank you.
Yet another perfectly executed recovery. Good effort with that member of the public who emailed you. Do these people want employees to receive disciplinary action from their bosses or to loose their jobs whilst doing nothing wrong.
I think Jason got it right..Coud have just graged it out backwards.and damaged a front joint . but little bit of a toss for extra time but so easy and Yes "JOB DONE" Keep safe and get them posted AND GET YOUR COLD CHECKED !!!!????? COVD TEST
Some people have Nothing better to do than to complain at nothing. Obviously you were not out on a pleasure trip in an 18 ton truck. you were Right to use your beacons To warn Kids & pedestrians of your presence. loaded or empty.
Well executed recovery of car and complaint. I drive a van (L2 H2) it is not huge but it is big enough that some corners need a touch of planning, so in an 18 ton flatbed truck with a fair overhang at the back I can see issues if care wasn't taken.
Great job well done as usual. He was a right one that emailed too. Plenty to say for himself on the phone about every truck that comes on the estate witch was nothing to do with the subject and didn't listen to you or appologise
Unbelievable how professionally you dealt with this Mr C Palmer. My policy is quite different. If I'm using beacons (yes the vehicle I drive has them also), it's for a bloody good reason. Ultimately, if you had been breaking the law, why didn't this 'Mr Palmer' report you to the traffic commissioner for the local area, or failing that, to the plod. The reason why? Mr Palmer thinks he knows best. Crack on Greg, you do a smashing job and very calmly and professionally to boot! Reet on!!
Top job that Greg, always right to take your time when other eyes are watching. As for the curtain twitcher, he’ll be moaning about being on TH-cam, until you ring him up and then he’ll back track 😂
Job well done sir. Would love to learn how to use a Hiab at my company here in the US but I know we don't have the money for it. Definitely would come in handy especially in the winter
Some people make me laugh aye. You handled this much better than I would have done. I would have told that busy body to keep his nose out of other people business and keep himself to himself. You can guarantee he is a retired 70 something with nothing todo other than poke his nose in where it is not needed.
Great video again 👍 by the way just to clarify, your camera is on a tripod, not a stand!! Surprised Shane didn't pick up on that 🤣 the email you had! Well some people have nothing else better to do mate, busy bodies standing in their windows thinking they know better, well obviously he doesn't, well done for putting him right. Oh! Did I mention it's a tripod not a stand 😂😂😂 keep up the good work and brilliant content 👍
there's always one person to have an issue unfortunately mate but i thought it was rather decent of you to have all your hazards and lights going to warn others seen many not bother, have you ever thought about converting your hiab to a wireless remote system? my mate has a concrete boom pump with an nbb system and he loves the wireless say's he'll never go back love the content looking forward to the xmas ones already 👍
Hay guys, I'm currently a Tesco delivery driver driving a 3.5T Van but I want to get into Recovery how does one get into this industry? Do I need to go on any Courses. I love being active and love working and i believe as i been working for Tesc'os my custom service is great. Can anyone give me some tips or point me in the right direction. This channel is amazing BTW i love the videos
Hey Greg, a little constructive criticism for you on the video side of things. Could you try and even out the audio levels between the intro music, you camera audio and your sound effects? I struggle with headphones sometimes having them set to hear you talking and then become deafened with your sound effects. Not trying to have a go, just a way you could make it all better mate!
Evening! Hope your good! I have looked but struggle on the movie maker thing i use 😢 im not very technical technical! I guess if i play with ear phones i may understand! Will have a nosey when im next on laptop 💻 stay safeb
To many SNOWFLAKES in this world with more time on their hands then they know what to do with ?? Some stupid people out there ! Take no notice great work.
Okay I'm from Canada mosquito traps from my area whack your 18-ton tow truck if they have their beacons on it's allowed because they can't stop on a dime same with your truck you can't stop on a dime and you're just giving people Advance warning and advance notice of you being there what were you doing the right thing yes you were everybody would like to get home to a cold meal nobody would you like the pops at their front door down their loved one is not alive anymore and whoever sent you that e-mail can hop on the freight train and go back to school you were doing everything right
Ffs Greg, what do you mean you couldn't keep up with other road users in an 18 tonner in a tight residential street whilst wearing no seat belt? This is purely sarcastic just in case any keyboard warriors don't get the joke.
I don't agree with him to Greg. I drive a bin lorry for chester council. Are beacons was on all the time. The only time I put them off was on the way to the tip .some people are a joke,
Can't believe Mr Palmer didn't spot your driver wasn't wearing his seatbelt either! :D
does not have or need one, its too old !
I owned an old MG Magnette ZA back in the 60s, while stripping out the interior panel's for a refurb I found bold inserts welded into the the door pillars. I asked my brother a film stunt man and garage owners about them and he told me they were safety bolt mounting points. He gave me a set of two Irving belts that fitted perfectly. So MG were way ahead of the time.
Just because the cab didn't come with belt's it may have the mounts fitted, better to be safe than sorry.
Surely, tho if you buy a vehicle that old, you should still have to have them fitted, due to rules and regs of the road now a days?
@@Drewski28622 no, all the UK seatbelt laws only apply on vehicles built after specified dates (normally a date past one where the manufacturers were already fitting them, except coaches).
@@steve5772 I see thanks
Thanks Greg - top job. I'm sure there were other ways to do it but the Hiab and spreader bar were the right tools for that job.
The end was priceless!!
Fair play Gregg for ring them up 👍 and being professional about it
Best video yet.
Very impressed with the careful and professional way you handled your customers car, no need to rush, do it right. 👍
Then came Mr Palmer! 🤯
Very well done mate. A master- class in closing down a nosey muppet. Brilliant 😂😂
I wonder what Mr Palmer thinks of bin lorry's driving around all day with beacons on!
Love the pink hat mate, another good job well done.
Mr Palmer bell end 😂😂😂
Love that! First time I've seen you use the HIAB! Can't believe you had that e:mail!!!
Glad you enjoyed 😂💪
A perfect truck and perfect hiab combination no modern electronics to cause you issues although a remote for the hiab would be a nice addition
Gregg ...you may be a one man gang member but you get the job done...slow and seady is the way .Keep up the good work,stay safe,keep alert and good luck.

Very tactfully dealt with the gentleman at the end 😎
Oh yes what a way to end the week
Our Mr Palmer is full of laughs FFS 😂😂😂
Yet another perfectly executed recovery. Good effort with that member of the public who emailed you. Do these people want employees to receive disciplinary action from their bosses or to loose their jobs whilst doing nothing wrong.
They think they have the power to get people sacked
Hope you had words with the driver. The most excitement that road has seen all year.
As a young a new to the recovery game (even tho my dad done it for 20 years) still find these video very interesting to watch and learn from top bloke
Neighbourhood watch came out in full force.😂😂😂
I think Jason got it right..Coud have just graged it out backwards.and damaged a front joint . but little bit of a toss for extra time but so easy and Yes "JOB DONE" Keep safe and get them posted AND GET YOUR COLD CHECKED !!!!????? COVD TEST
Go on Greg! Think I enjoyed the ending more than the recovery 🙂
Bloody love this channel, legend mate
What’s the road I’ll go on it I like playing with beacon light
this guy reminds me of tractor boy from back in the day... keep thinking hes about to say.... an we go go karting!!!!! easy! lol
Some people have Nothing better to do than to complain at nothing. Obviously you were not out on a pleasure trip in an 18 ton truck.
you were Right to use your beacons To warn Kids & pedestrians of your presence.
loaded or empty.
Good job Gregg if that was an old land rover it would drive out 😅
In the 70s the whole street would be out !! Deck chairs , tea and sandwiches. It would have been a real show of neighbours
We need some more Daf exhaust 💨 cam footage! It sounds awesome!
I don't know how you kept your cool with that Messer on the phone mate, well done very professional.
Quite dandy, nice leap on truck, thanks for video.
Given your competence and diligence, and the paragraph you highlighted in his email, I would have ignored him!
You're some boy Gregg. Love it.
Well executed recovery of car and complaint. I drive a van (L2 H2) it is not huge but it is big enough that some corners need a touch of planning, so in an 18 ton flatbed truck with a fair overhang at the back I can see issues if care wasn't taken.

Im used to do Recovery work sustained an injury due to a very bad driver not paying attention. Lucky I'm here. Quick reaction saved my life
i love the idle sound of the daf engine
Good job 😎
Lovely professional job 👏
Total legend Greg! A cracking job!
Another great video Greg, Nice to see the DAF HIAB in action. Keep these golden videos coming
I'm sure you could have driven that out if there
Mr Palmer what a whooper
Unbelievable how professionally you dealt with this Mr C Palmer.

I'm actually baffled Mr Palmer seriously complained about that, Greg is that you branching out to Mobile Disco unit aswell now ?
Recovery Greg on the case. Top job as always, and another happy customer. Keep them coming buddy.
Beacons are not hazard lights. This has been well covered
Nice work, got to love an audience.
That’s Mr Palmer told 🤣😂 nice one Greg!
"oh they'll be flying" had me 😂
Cracking video as always, I'm shocked that Mr p didn't follow you up the estate to investigate more, but he wasn't long about changing his opinion.
Very good job done as all ways mate
Thanks Greg completely agree with you 👍👍
Great video you run a great business. Why did you sell this lorry tho it was a great bit kit for them jobs?
I'm guessing Mr Palmer has a clip board in his day job
Job well done sir. Would love to learn how to use a Hiab at my company here in the US but I know we don't have the money for it. Definitely would come in handy especially in the winter
Wow landy have low tyre thread 😳
Nice camera angle on the HIAB 😎
I think that truck needs strobes lots of them then you don't need your hazards on and Mr Palmer will be happy
You could have jacked it up place a cover over the hole the drop the jack and then move the vehicle on said hole cover
Some people make me laugh aye. You handled this much better than I would have done. I would have told that busy body to keep his nose out of other people business and keep himself to himself.

Let the air out of the tyre sorted lol

Love the way they offer you a cuppa at the end of the job…good vid btw
Hi Gregg, you should try driving a bus for a living, we're constantly trying to squeeze between vehicles. - Jess.
looks like a discovery sport. If it was a proper discovery you could raise the air suspension up.
HA HA bloody curtain twitchers
Just sat down with a beer, get in 👌
Hi Craig
you need to get a thermal flask then you can always take it with you.
Love the hiab camera view
there's always one person to have an issue unfortunately mate but i thought it was rather decent of you to have all your hazards and lights going to warn others seen many not bother, have you ever thought about converting your hiab to a wireless remote system? my mate has a concrete boom pump with an nbb system and he loves the wireless say's he'll never go back

You could use a jack. Just let some air out the tyre.

'ey up Greg 😎
fairplay i wouldnt have been as nice to mr palmer
You seen that ERF 4x4 recovery truck on eBay?
Finally you use the crane
MR PALMER allways wanted to buy roys rolls ,
That person who emailed you has not got nothing better to do ,
🐐
Not sure all the hussle was necesary bringing out the HIAB 😂😂
If id paid as much as they probably did for that landrover and it wouldn't drive out there it would be up for sale

Ok thanks! Maybe, try having a Google about your software?
@@liamdowner1883 will have a mooch!
@@GDBRescueandrecovery 👍👍and Mr C Palmer was ummm, interesting! I've seen the dash cam from our driver, is that the new one built into your own eyes😂😂
@@GDBRescueandrecovery Not bothered me tbh, but try a google for 'volume normalisation'.
Still sounding rough Bro. You need some time off to recover!!!
Its a discovery. They go off road. He could have driven out of that.
Did u mention the tyre needs changing
Did you need to do any kind of courses or qualifications to start your business?
I wonder what would have happened if the range rover driver drove it back into the hole?
nice job, well done.Mr Farmer has f--k all else to do,needs to get a life,i,m glad some people have nothing better to do
Deflate the tyre?
I want my life to be that boring that I feel the need to complain about beacons 😂
No new videos yet mate???
My landy would have driven out of there, bloody chelsea tractors.
To many SNOWFLAKES in this world with more time on their hands then they know what to do with ?? Some stupid people out there ! Take no notice great work.
money for auld rope I thought it was a four wheel drive
Okay I'm from Canada mosquito traps from my area whack your 18-ton tow truck if they have their beacons on it's allowed because they can't stop on a dime same with your truck you can't stop on a dime and you're just giving people Advance warning and advance notice of you being there what were you doing the right thing yes you were everybody would like to get home to a cold meal nobody would you like the pops at their front door down their loved one is not alive anymore and whoever sent you that e-mail can hop on the freight train and go back to school you were doing everything right
Ffs the clown that sent the email obviously has no idea of use of beacons etc
Have to ask but a why not just pull it out
Ffs Greg, what do you mean you couldn't keep up with other road users in an 18 tonner in a tight residential street whilst wearing no seat belt?
This is purely sarcastic just in case any keyboard warriors don't get the joke.
I don't agree with him to Greg. I drive a bin lorry for chester council. Are beacons was on all the time. The only time I put them off was on the way to the tip .some people are a joke,
