    Yep, was abusing the TV last night when I saw it.

    At the 19 second mark we see the "snatch" start and pan up to see the chain attached to the tow ball. Lets hope the script writer has to attend the next Coroners enquiry into a towball death.


    Time Marches On .....and on ..... and on

    I'm disgusted, that is a perfect demonstration of what NOT to do, nothing should ever be att. to a towball but a trailer!!
    People new to 4 wheel drives would see that and not think twice about the safety risks.
    So someone please tell me, in the event of a death or injury using that ute and the towball to recover something, WHO would you SUE??
    Cheers, the ferret.
