No that's all been updated now, that won't break.

It went nose first into really deep water. Silty horrible stuff. Engine now rattles, doesn't charge, doesn't start without a jump pack, fans died.

And above all I snapped my winch in half.

What a day.

Mike

I didn't take a picture of that, I will tomorrow though.

Hopefully my boss can weld it.
