Be nice to now where it is. It was sold to a guy up Leicester way who said he was going to use it. I drove it for 6 years and the seat had adapted to my backside just right. Cat with Jakes and a 13 speed Fuller it dont get much better.

Ifirst met Johnny Burden in the early 90’s when he did a bit of subbying for Ronnie Osborne (JG Osborne) of Rotherham, He was the most laid back bloke I’ve ever met :laughing:
He did his own high cab conversion on that Daf and it had an AEC stearing wheel IIRC.
I wasn’t very old then and he gave me a lot of good advice about chaining stuff down for which I am eternally grateful for. :smiley:


A couple more from the wilds.

See you liked to keep it tidy then Pat. :wink: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I’ll bet he had a problem remembering which lorry was in use & which was abandoned. Maybe he was of the “if it starts, run it” school?!?! :wink: :unamused: :wink:
