A JCB 540-170 tele handler no less !

He's been driving round with the boom in the air on a slope...a definate no no in one of those.

This is what they should look like when used correctly :

OMG his fence is crushed: I hope it's insured.

There's some ugly orange thing under the crane boom that seems to have stopped the crane rolling over and doing even MORE damage to the poor guy's fence.

Crane falls on Focus and causes £17,000 worth of improvements

I think the tele handler did well to miss both fence posts, very accurate hit imho.

Nasty new build on an 'executive social climbers estate', orange ST in the drive - couldnt have happened to a nice person.

Bet the finance company who still own 95% of the car are quite annoyed though....

The car owner is probably just glad their 'bottom of the range with none of the options' X3 wasnt parked there at the time as the kids would then have to walk the 500 yards to school in the morning.
