Leyland-DAF 60-180. March 2000
Another day at the Builder Centre with a later lorry. My faithful H516 GHC has been replaced by this flash boy and a tear was shed. Nice action shot taken at the Wimbledon branch with the Pioneer concrete depot in the back ground. As a young lad the concrete depot was the only company on the Durnford Road site, the surrounding area just scrub land with derelict trains resting in the rail sidings. I think it was called Nordecrete back then running Guy Warriors. I used to climb in the cabs and pretend to drive them. I can see the puzzled drivers next morning.. 'I'm sure I left that gear lever in neutral..' I was 10 at the time and took care not to damage anything. Carefree days of youth. Happy days!
