Bärgningsbil

Bärgningsbil
I passed it a bit up the road. I was on my eBike, heading for Nynäshamn when I spotted the 1976 Scania tow truck parked at a bus stop. The driver, let's call him Tony, was busy photographing it with his smartphone. I figured he had to come my way a little later, so I stopped on a bridge nearby and waited. So Swedish word of the day is bärgningsbil.

I would not have though it was an old one.

We call it a bergingsauto.

So now I know Swedish for tow truck. If only I will be able to remember when my rental car breaks completely while touring Sweden. (Both events are equally unlikely, but I do like to know words for things, even in Swedish!) There is probably a phrase for old tow truck in excellent condition..

We sometimes say that something is in toppskick,(mint contidion), or, som ny, (as good as new).
