Sometimes we get asked to recovery the most unusual "vehicles", this one slipped off the end of the runway at Liverpool airport You should have heard the panic in our office when Liverpool airport rang and said, "we have had a plane crash, can you come and recover it please"

Big wedding today, at the moment my house is full of females getting hair and make up done, I am supplying the tea, coffee and bacon butties and staying out of the way!

Not this Sunday unfortunately, my daughter gets married on Saturday and then all of the rellies are coming back to mine on the Sunday and I can't get out of it

I want that Leyland 154 but in 1:32 scale 8) 8)

What date is the Haydock one Rob?

I know how you feel Sean, a while ago I applied for a delivery job driving a van and got paper sifted because I didn't have any multi drop van driving experience, I was a copper for 30 years for Christ's sake what more experience can I give them!

Try this for a bit of downhill biking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m8FbxlFX1U

2 tickets for The Who Quadrophenia tour at the Liverpool Echo Arena..............Rock on Tommy..................sorry that was a different show .................and apologies to Cannon and Ball!!

Another unusual vehicle today, an Armstrong Siddley Sapphire, in the process of being restored and we were asked to take it to the paint shop.

This was an expensive mistake for someone, it hit a bridge!! The hydraulic platform was torn out of the floor And it ripped a hole in the roof It also snapped the rear axle but unfortunately I didn't get a picture of that :-

We had a visit from another Kenworth wrecker today, nice paint job!!! I also managed to get a couple of out trucks parked side by side, its not often they are all in the yard together And then the baby one :

I just love that description of the UH attempt at weathering, I had to laugh out loud and Mrs R wanted to know what I was laughing at ;D

Another one of the "back issues" of LCN Show models, the 2001 Claas Xerion 2500, trying to get the full set but still missing a few.

I really wanted to attend this show but I couldn't get time off work, I was going to give Andy a hand on the FTF/Model Farmer stall but after seeing how cold it was I am in two minds now. I would like to have gone but I really hate being cold!

First one of the year for me is a bit of a catch up that I missed when it first came out. UH Massey Ferguson 7495 Plogmaker in blue

Given the recent weather conditions I do begin to wonder that if people had gunpowder for brains they wouldn't have enough to blow their hat off. We all know the fields are wet so why would you think you could drive a Ford Transit connect across one? Enter the Saviour.....John Deere 3140 style

South Liverpool, one of the larger factories

If I remember rightly from previous posts it is the boss who is the sprayer man? You would think he would learn especially when he has to pay the bill.

After having my last car for almost 7 years I went into the Ford garage today and came out having signed up for a new 62 plate Ford Focus straight from the factory, 1 litre, 3 cylinder engine that produces 125 bhp, hoping it will be as reliable as the last Mondeo.

I know this is rare but is it really worth this much?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230905429492?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230905429492?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

After seeing this I had to go and have a look in my cabinet at my MAP John Deere 4240S as I know I had assembled the exhaust nearest to the cab and the air intake further away. It would seem that I got it right as on the real deal it is that way round

One more for the Fiat collection, 1000DT with a cab by Replicagri. Great detail and quite sturdy

Tris, it only came in late this afternoon, I will see if I can find anything out about it on Thursday but I believe it is going up for sale as a write off.

We do get asked to recover the most unusual vehicles, this is one that we don't see every day It is however, an International

Not directly as it was out of our Highways area.....but we did get one of the ambulances that had broken down at the scene as we have the contract for the North West Ambulance Service
