Might be a good event.............proper transport café too. Well it was last time I went about 20 years ago anyway

Was a thoroughly great show and I'm amazed just how many trucks turned up - there must have been almost a hundred and they were parked three or four deep in places! Great to see Alf and his Chevy there too.

 

Here's just a small taster:

 

This is apparently a Mammoth Major with Matador axles

I remember these pounding the motorways. G-reg with the older cab seems late reg madness to me?

Brush painted with a body covered in dents from loading rocks. Brilliantly shite.

Guxters. Odd name.

Scania V8 with upright pipes. The noise it makes is out of this world.

ERF at a muddy truckstop, it's the 1980s all over again

These guys were just here on an overnight stop. Wonder what they thought of waking up to that lot?

Been waiting for these! There were some great trucks there.

 

I spent ages watching them leave.........some great some sounding engines and skilful gear changes

No, that's fine.  I used to drive a rigid with that shape cab, also on a G: G290 CKD, IIRC.

Saw lots of old wagons on the A1 yesterday.

 Hi, For anyone interested this end of the country, is the London to Brighton commercial vehicle run on Sunday May 6th.  Cars and taxi's to lorries and buses as  long as it's more than 20 years old.  Halfway halt at Crawley,  another good place to watch is 3/4 of the way up Pease Pottage hill to see their crash box down changing skills put to the test under load.
