Scania V8 Jackets

Found myself in a beer tent at a vintage rally this evening. Apparently to be in with the cool kids, you have to have a face which resembles a water drain rodent, and wear a bomber jacket with V8 badges ablazeded all over.

Iam not saying this is a bad vibe whatsoever!

Just wondered why folks want to wear their work clothes on a Saturday night out?

Do you live in Lurgan? :laughing:

Let me guess the uniform…From Northern Ireland…
Brown boots, not polished.]
Jeans, blue, boot cut, little too tight.
Check shirt, bit tight round the stomach.
Slightly overweight and has and got four kids at home.
Says he is 23 but looks around 44 and had his licence since 1986■■?
Says he is exempt from speed limiters.

And got a Scania V8 jacket on!!!

There are no cool kids at vintage rallys.

Same reason old codgers want to stand in a field and argue about 1950’s water pumps. They are ■■■■■ s

You are Gok Won and I claim my five pounds!
I sat in armchair and nodded in acknowledgement with each statement you made!

i’ve got one.
I was freezing my nuts off in germany. it was either a lorry jacket or a high viz. lovely and warm, good quality it is too.

To be more precise, Jeans should be stone washed blue and boot cut.

Check shirts should be worn collar up, although a pink super dry polo shirt, also collar up, is becoming more popular.

Boots, either brown dealer or tan desert boots.

Jacket must be bomber style, in black, and must have either v8, vabis or company name. Preferably all 3. Both hands have to be in jacket pockets at all times. Only exception to hand rule is removing hand to hold beer/coffee/■■■.

Oh yes and even when pushing 50 and virtually bald, hair must be gelled to within an inch of its life, to prove your young, hip and trendy. Full marks go to any driver that spikes the back and sides of his head, but is bald on top.
