Blackwolf - yes I do and I completely love it!

Yes its a bit like Ice Road Truckers in that a lot of it will be more hyped than needed. But adds to the fun to some extent but can get a bit tedious.

I met Lisa Kelly and Todd Dewey at a local truckfest and they were saying how lost of the problems they have could be solved by just putting on both sets of tyre chains on but that doesn't make for good telly apparently.

The later seasons are a bit disappointing though as it seems to follow a few other companies rather than Jamie Davis so some episodes are a bit dull, but some of the heavy recovery work on the ice flats is incredible.

Would love to do it though. Happily chuck everything in (apart from the 110) lock stock and dive into it! Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197
