gives me so much comfort watching your videos, Dad was a class 2 recovery driver more or less doing what you do, we lost him just before Christmas unexpectedly. top video as always

[@Fighting_Torque]

Ah thanks man, I really appreciate that, sorry for your loss

[@shonaroberts584]

Another great video. Thank you for the shout out and thank you so much for keeping the secret with the mugs. Absolutely hilarious. Ha ha. It’s my birthday today, got up and sat with brew in our new mugs and watching this, it’s made my day. Thanks again and keep the great context coming.

[@Fighting_Torque]

Thanks Shona, really appreciate your comment. Ben 🎂

I spoke to the owner of the Mini later in the day as i needed a new battery on my car at Bracks and she was so thankful you came out so quick and for the garage to srot it. Top job lad 👌🏻🦆

[@Fighting_Torque]

Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback

[@ciderant]

Helps my mental health watching you being a pillock(lowered mini😂😂😂). You definitely brighten up my days with your words of wisdom. I would get a fuel card and only use it for emergencies (or when you are skint), like when Curtis doesn't pay😡😡. Keep it up Ben👍

[@Fighting_Torque]

Cheers mate, hope you're doing well

[@mikeferrett195]

I saw Curtis at the job centre this morning, hope he learnt a valuable lesson

[@rosselliott7375]

My dad had a fuel card for 10 years or so kept using as you do I checked it one day they was charging 10p per litre more than what it was at the pump

[@Fighting_Torque]

That's mad isn't it

Which one?

Great video bud. Don't worry about you thinking the Mini was lowered you'll soon spring back mate lol

Just caught up on 4 or 5 of your videos Ben, enjoyed them all. Don't give up. I'd sure miss you. You just keep getting better and better. Don't go into the sea! Any news with the new Unit?

[@Fighting_Torque]

No nothing, it's what stressed me out yesterday, estate agents are just s#@t

Ben another cracking video. It's my chill out time come home fighting torque mug of red wine and watch your latest video. And just pointing out bud there's nothing wrong with your trucks they work that's what matters ❤

Thanks mate, I agree with ya. have a great weekend

Thanks for the feedback Craig

[@NickHudson2]

Love this channel you’re a great guy Ben! The positivity and fun you bring to every video makes for the best content 😎 Have to say between a lad of your skillset in Ronnie or Charlie or someone in a brand new top spec truck you’d get my business if I needed recovery all day long 👍

[@Fighting_Torque]

Thanks mate, struggling a little with whether to carry on this youtube journey, so comments like that help a lot

[@tomhuckstepp2322]

We use fuel cards mate and only thing is good is monthly invoicing for cash flow

[@Fighting_Torque]

Yeah sounds like that could be helpful

[@crinklee]

Brilliant being in the cab with you. Just catching up with you helps my mental health. I think it's amazing that you would just offer a video to cover this subject ❤️ As for Curtis, what a dipstick. In his predicament, should of been bill paid in full and here is a drink for saving my arse. I'm guessing someone with that much thought will be stuck again soon, if still in the job after this 🤣 thank you for another video. 👊

[@Fighting_Torque]

Hi Ben, just watched the video really good i think the jibe about the rear end lift was aimed at me for my last post on the renualt rear end lift but no worries i've been a motor vehicle engineer all my life and a crash/breakdown recvery operator for 25 years so i know where you are coming from but i luv all your videos keep on making them you are a funny guy all the best Ben

[@Fighting_Torque]

Hey man, nah it wasn't at you don't worry, nothing but love here pal, I just talk crap once the camera is on, mainly because the rest of the time I'm sat in silence 😂

[@johnburke5759]

I use shell fleet fuel card and you get 3p a litre of unleaded regardless of price at shell garage and I think it’s 5p a litre off diesel. You can also use it at a few other garages but unfortunately you don’t get the discount

[@Fighting_Torque]

Cheers mate, I'll look into it

[@alastairhonaker1155]

Good stuff again mate

[@Fighting_Torque]

Cheers mate

[@steve5772]

Fuel cards are alright, but you really have to watch them in terms of what they're charging you. The only one I really use is Fuel Genie. Only works at the supermarkets, and it's still pump price, just helps with cashflow and record keeping. The flipside is, most of the ones that you can get easily aren't great in Lincolnshire because they might be 7p off pump price but that's at a garage that's 10p more than the supermarkets. Also, big thanks for the really reasonable quote picking my mate's Audi up, we didn't need it in the end because the RAC decided to show up. 36 hours after she called them. To be fair, the patrol man was spot on, and did say he'd just had 2 days off.... sounds like they just queued his work up for when he got back.

[@Fighting_Torque]

Ah hi mate, no worries at all, glad you got sorted

[@greatestytcommentator]

TRANSITS! More use per pound than any other vehicle..... with the possible exception of a mid series Land Rover.

[@Fighting_Torque]

You're bang on there mate

[@retrodexgaming948]

I remember my first broken spring 😅

[@Daveusa11]

What a massive pot hole on the roads in woodhall spa, got to drive like your drunk to avoid em 😆. Minis look better lowered a pain on lincolnchestershire roads though. Great vid mate 🫡

[@8motorhead8]

Another quality video ben mate as always id love to go flyin about n c the coast n cliffs ect bet its epic

[@Fighting_Torque]

I'll get one sorted soon

[@markspreadbury104]

You have to set a realistic minimum call out charge. You got bills to pay. Great vlog mate. Would be nice to meet up one day.👍

[@deanroberts187]

Yes I always set a minimum too. But there’s always a cowboy around that’ll do it cheaper - and then get pulled by DVSA or just cause damage. It’s not such a cheap recovery when that happens.

[@Fighting_Torque]

I do have a minimum mate, Ronnie doesn't move for less that £75 and Charlie is £60. Those go up obviously after 9pm and again after midnight.

[@aa-kv2pq]

Intersting about the plane emergency on the ships we called them pan pan's rather than pans lol

[@Fighting_Torque]

Yeah, either way I don't want one 😂

[@adyjohnson1974]

We use BP fuel card. Always about 10 to 12p cheaper then pump price. Used it for years

[@Fighting_Torque]

Ah ok, I'll look into it

Hi its called Venetian Blinds by Mattias Tell

That Mini has not moved for some time judging by the heavy rust on the discs!

[@Fighting_Torque]

Had only been there overnight apparently

I dont know but my boss who drives a brand new porsche ev was complaining about the fuel cards charging 135 a litre for derv ..... prices are 145ish here made him fill up a few time's .... we are back on the fuel card again lol

[@steve5772]

And remember if you're really careful to fill up where it's cheapest, and work as hard as you can, in 3 years time you'll be able to watch him get another Porsche 😉

[@Fighting_Torque]

Ha ha fair one mate

[@impy1980]

Bang on Ben with the people who didn't wanna pay £40, do someone a favour and they take the pee then they deserve the ramifications that come with it. Harsh to be kind and all that, you do good prices, and for the benefit of everyone else, I think you're handling the bad eggs really well. Definitely wanna see more flying mate. Just like the Cavalier stuff, everyone into the recovery stuff won't always enjoy it, but variety is the spice of life and all that, plus will get in some new viewers who probably wouldn't have found you otherwise. Also noticed on the last video you're editing on the laptop, honestly, better man than me, on the rare occasion I do have to edit out and about I now hate a small 1 screen, if it's got a display out should have, and you want a 24" 16:10 monitor, give me a shout got 2 laying about that I haven't been arsed to get rid of them, can have one or both for nowt, one is a bit iffy where if it gets too hot screen goes black, capacity issue I've read, pretty sure the other is fine, I just replaced the pair so I had the same colour gamut. But your welcome to 'em if you want them, just collecting dust.

[@Fighting_Torque]

Cheers mate, appreciate that, I'm actually looking at getting a desktop soon but really appreciate the offer.

£60 was very cheap but by not telling you the full story I would have charged them the 2 callouts as you had to make 2 visits! A mens mental health vid would be interesting.
