Getting a Kia van on a truck

While driving a short-term mission team from Regina to Antigua for their last 2 nights in the country, my van, the Kia, brokedown. We managed to get the team to where we needed to go and left the van at a highway road stop.



Two days later on our way back, we had a 'tow truck' from Tactic meet us so we could get it brought back to Tactic for repairs. The event required putting the van on the back of the truck.



I sat in the cab drinking Seven, steering the van and occasionally braking while they unhooked and rehooked the chains...



...while this guy did all the work. When the chain runs out, I brake, they manually unwind the chain, hook it up again and start the pulling again. They had to hook it up 3 times because the chain isn't that long.



45 minutes of winching and voilá!



Fido Dido lives! Is he in Canada anymore? I don't think he's learned to talk yet though.
