How not to descend with a van in tow
As said, but watch this closely, passes me quite stable but a bit further on guns it, look at the black smoke , not once but twice, clearly accelerating but then problems, my guess he was having a ding dong with his girl, cannot see any other reason why you should drive like that, whatever they were very lucky, had conditions been other than perfect it could have been a different story, we arrived good as gold at our site an hour latter, Rick

Thanks Elt, all done, never used FB before although had an account since 2016, just wanted to try and contact the people involved to give them a copy, did not have time to exchange details at the time, Rick

WOW, what a total jeep head, he definitely caused that, that said there may have been a mechanical problem like oil seals in the turbo going or electrical problem like fly-by-wire throttle sticking on never know I suppose, doubtful though aye
