quicksilver Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 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!

colnerov Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 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. http://www.hcvs.co.uk/ Colin alf892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
