Well done Ted can't believe how much support you give the boys. Keep them at it because you have such high standards

Whist your Foden was in Scotland I think it was used by specialist Recovery Team on the Scottish Rally Scene.
Back in the day (2001) myself and my mate were competing in a Forest Rally near Dumfries and had a big "off", basically we crashed into the trees down a 1 in 3 hill and I thought the car was unrecoverable.
After a long wait, the race finished and the recovery team turned up with your Foden, they had a bit of a chat and scatched their chins a few times, then sprang into action and winched the car back up the hill via a few Pullys attached to big trees. The Rally Car was a total wreck and they then used the crane to load it onto a trailer to get it out of the Forest.
Despite feeling pissed off with crashing out of the event and wrecking the car, I can still remember being mightily impressed with the power of the Foden winching the wreck out of the Forest up that huge gradient.

I can’t believe the amount of work you guys do plus killing it on the videos! So many videos. You must never sleep!

[Mike-Honcho-]

Can we take a moment to appreciate that these are the hardest working guys in the UK.

That black looks sick!

Appreciate ya, from the US!

[Crundwell]

Not convinced Ted ever gets enough credit for his supervision skills… 😍

[mehw]

I was unsure when I seen the black cab all those months but must admit being all black I think the Foden looks bloody ohhh and Ted at the end! So damn adorable!!

I remember the BARV was suppose to be a function over form project too. You can tell you actually care about the Foden as it seems to be one of your best purchases. It definitely earns it keep for you.

As a merch idea I was thinking you could make a “Hewes Towing” shirt. One the front a simple “Hewes Towing”. On the back saying “it takes one” with the silhouette of the Foden above. Below it says “to tow one” with silhouette of a Centurion.

Don't short change yourselves. The knowledge and skills you and Jack have about these heavy machines are second to none. You post it, I'll watch it. AND BatDog too.

If seen far worse welding from so called "professionals" and if you look at any Japanese bike right upto the early 1980s the welding was shocking but it worked!
As for the colour of the Foden I love it it looks menacing and moody which is spot on. Great job as always and thanks to TED for overseeing this stage of the proceedings!

Lovely to see you taking proper care of her.... you owe it to her. She'll look after you for many more years. ❤Foden

[philipcable]

Good to see Jack back at it (nice work on the re-riveting of the side cabinets) and Ted back on safety duty.

[MrSeeuu]

LOL.... “Jiggery Pokery” is my new words of the week!!!! Foden looks great!!! Safety yellow for the outriggers? Nature’s warning colors, black & yellow. What do I know anyway. I’ve been told all of my taste is in my mouth. LOL
BTW, mic and camera work is outstanding on this video. Content is stellar as always, and of course there is Ted & Jack. Thanks for the Sunday drop. A cup of coffee, my easy chair, and your Foden exploits made a great start of my day. Play safe, live lively. Thanks for all.

Genuinely becoming one of my favourite channels Mr Hewes 🥰👍

[ThirdDegreeWitchExplores]

Relieved to see Ted in charge, with him on the case I can rest easy tonight knowing the job was done right under his careful directions

[AndreZA]

Mike, aka mic, is a welcome addition to the tanking crew. Go Mike!

[paulblackman]

Every video my respect for your work and Teds greatness grows.

[kensherwood]

We all love the Foden, I personally like the all one colour look.

[dbcooper]

Your channel does at a canter what Top Gear dreamed of doing but failed. Respect to you guys. Inspiring stuff and fun.

[Wilkost]

Looks bang a 100% better. Can't wait for the finished article. Cheers lads

I suggest adding those reflective strips on the support bars, the rear and front for some extra visibility at night as you mentioned your concern
