This is for Ghosty (and others!)

Range Rover, trailer and a Rolls Royce Phantom III (uninsured!) are write-offs. Cause is probably the wrong weight loading of the tow bar head coupled with an inexperienced tower!

No one was seriously hurt but the Rolls....

I have seen this video a number of times now on different forums. I thought we had this already somewhere, maybe not. It is of course a very expensive way to learn a lesson.

Henny Kennis said he has lost the control of his Land Rover. Due to a pneumatic suspension problem...

You know that rich people can't fail. It's always somebody else or something else fault...

As a past rescue and recovery Guy, I can relate to suspension failures on the Range Rover, but usually not while driving, it normally happens when the car is parked up over night and the following morning the car refuses to rise up from the sleep mode meaning it should not be driven any distance, only back into a garage out of the way until the rescue truck arrives!

The Phantom III and trailer weight combined was more than the towing vehicle which was a big mistake, so if it starts to 'Fishtail' you have a big problem developing!
