Haha thats ace. The guy avoided the fee, and sold the remains for double what he paid for it while all the time getting to vent.
What a clueless idiot that ncp press officer came across as too. Serious foot in mouth PR statement moment. Having surgically sliced up a few vehicles in my time, id say he didn't understand the job and was just blowing off hot air.
Should be picking up his cards for a gaffe like that...
this has been knocking round on UKW for a week or so, consensus is a bit of an idiot, for A almost killing himself with the tyre, and no safety specs, but respect to the idea....If it happens in the truck IL be sure to do the same...
See with that type of clamp there all you have to do is jack up your vehicle and swap wheels
You could have the spare on faster than getting the gas torch out
And cos you're not damaging the clamp you can't get done for criminal damage
