    Range rover. Good recovery, or just foolish?

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    I have been in a car on its side in a creek, the roof (fiberglass) came off and the side folded in not fun at all. Big lesson learned. If you are not sure and it is too fast flowing to walk it first dont do it in the 4x4 either, a 4x4 is not a boat.

    Hell's Bells! At least the passenger didn't spill their coffee.

    I must admit, Bob, that I expected to hear expletives in that video but the videographer was quite restrained!

    Great recovery if you ask me.
    I thought he might have got stuck there but he persisted and got the job done.
    I really wish i was there to enjoy in the fun.

    When I rolled my car it was actually the missus car and she was in the passenger seat. I am not sure if rolling the car was worse or the ear bashing I got from her was worse for killing her car. Actually I fixed a few days after, anyway working outside on the car was better than being inside with her anyway for the first few days after..
    That Rangie came sooo close to a similar fate IMO

    He may have been in shock, Ron, anticipating the worst. He did well to get out of it, for sure, I just wonder if he thought / walked it thru before hand.
