OLD BRS LORRIESHello all,
I was given an old calendar with these pictures on it.Would there be some Senior BRS drivers around who would remember some of them? Regards,900X20. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mea semper in excreta
Re: OLD BRS LORRIESSmashing stuff, both Peter Davies and Mike Jefferies are brilliant transport artists. Has anybody got any copies of the "lorry bills" posters that BRS applied to the sides of their vans in the very early days? There was a series of paintings depicting BRS activities, showing their lorries in different situations. Some of them can be spotted on vans in various books, but how many were there in total?
Tha can allus tell a Yorkshireman, but tha can't tell 'im much.
MORE OLD PHOTOSHere are some more from the calendars I have.They're not all BRS though.I might be able to get hold of a few more.The painting is as true as it can get (having driven some of them) Regards to all,900X20.

Re: OLD BRS LORRIES
Great pics and I can just about remember all of those makes and models.I like that Octopus GWH 312,registered in Bolton I think. Driver of that Vulcan looks ready to "bale" out (sorry) ![]() Them were t'days when we were on neets.
Re: OLD BRS LORRIES
I think if you took the top 2 rows off that Vulcan it would still be a bit iffy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out of it alive anyway.

Re: OLD BRS LORRIES
Don't worry lads, it's a load of hops - next to no weight at all really, and at 20mph (of course we stick to the limit, officer!) it's quite safe. I've seen them with a good bit more than this on. Tha can allus tell a Yorkshireman, but tha can't tell 'im much.
Re: OLD BRS LORRIESSo have I, but that was in Turkey, not UK

Re: OLD BRS LORRIESDrove a mighty Antar in Germany with a Conqueror tank on the trailer approx 150 ton, was a swine to find a route to the company we had to deliver it to, the bridges was the trouble, 50 tons was a lot of the limits.

Re: OLD BRS LORRIES
This thread title may be a bit misleading for this link, but I found it yesterday while perusing the web http://www.redbubble.com/people/artistj ... /portfolio So if it is your birthday and you want something different, just leave that webpage open when you nip out to the shed. There are some 200 amazing paintings and memories in there! Lorries and Engines I have returned to Slimming World as a failed candidate
