Just pulled in Lymm truckstop to check I still had a lorry on the spec lift, I had to recover this on Saturday afternoon from J36 M6 back to Rugeley, My 19 year old daughter came with me for a “jolly out” when she took the picture she said she would quite like to drive something like this DAF one day, I suppose you cant fault her for having ambition!

Time to put the bins out, stinking horrible lorry to lie underneath, the red one that is, oh the joys of towing bin lorries.
Good Day All
I posted these 2 old photos on the British Road Services site to see if any of the older men remembered them but as yet no response and then I found this site and thought they deserve a place on here with all the big flash jiggers as they did numerous recoveries in the early days of the M1 from Luton to Watford Gap and surrounding area.
They were based at the British Road Service Repair Centre at Irthlingborough Northants.
Todays offering, a 63 reg Arriva bus which had rear ended something, not sure what but apparently the driver said “the brakes failed” anyway we hooked it up and away we go.
Blast from the past
