Another Daf eight legger, in Tarmac colours,seen if memory serves me right, on the A49 near Church Stretton.
Looks like one of Steve Butler’s from Wrexham, usually runs out of Pant or Borras. Bit out of his way though if I’m right.
Dave the Renegade:
Seen on the A44 Kington bypass today. Dave Morris from Pembridge in his H reg Leyland Constructor. Dave used to run half a dozen Leylands mainly out of Johnstone’s Leinhall Quarry,now he just runs this one,although he still has some more in his yard.
great picture Dave – what other Leylands does he have?

Its all been said before John as you know,a lot of them are young kids,suppose I would have done that if it was on in my day,before I was old enough to drive a lorry. I still think its wrong,but nothing seems to get done about it. Gripe over.
Cheers Dave.
Your right there Dave, but they get away with it all the time, people get hurt and killed on a regular basis by them. they run around with no flashers, no trailer lights if they have mirrors they are broke or covered in mud, they come out of a field and spit mud all over the road for the next three miles, try any of this with a truck and see how long you keep your licence
Anyway as you said mate nothing gets done, can’t point me towards a farmers forum can you so I can have a rant at them don’t think it would take me to long to get banned from it.
cheers
John.
Hi John,
Someone had a right go about them in the commercial moter last week,they asked for more letters on the subject,as far as I could see there wasn’t a letter page this week. Either inundated with letters or nothing. Ive had a go on the professional forum about this subject,so I had better rest my case for now.
Cheers Dave.
Back to the proper road vehicle’s.

I’m guilty your honour,a rebel tractor driver.Mind you in 1957,in Lincolnshire,with a Fergie and single axle trailer(and no licence) you were lucky to see anybody else on the road apart from the milk wagon and half - p***** farmers going and coming back from market.
Dave,I like that Leyland Constructor,that will have earned it’s keep,any more pics of it?
