Have a look thru Bewick transport thread,theres some pics took at carnforth,ta,Pete
That was the show started by Graham Cordiner of Peterhead he was fed up paying to display at Truckfest’s and decided to start one of his own I think he ran it for a few years do they still hold one there. Eddie.

If you look closely on the fell side going over Shap you can see a number of Big J 8 potters grazing peacefully on the upper slopes,there’s an odd S.O.M. one among them as well

Absolutely correct Pete,but some would no doubt try,whats the difference between a non existent cafe and a non existent motor

He was paid a few times to go to Truckfest, as were a few other guys, but there were some behind the scenes politics going on with some other promotors.

Hello largebloke1969, here’s something for you to look at and they’re from that day, hope you enjoy em.
Still no pic of my rigid tho lol them john millers looked bang on think i was parked directly opposite them , cheers for posting 
I remember seeing that extended cab Scania back in the day and thinking how better it would look with a decent paint job, I just think the palm tree thing looks a bit naff. (If the owner is on here no offence mate just my opinion)
