Gaydon truck show

Lonewolf Yorks:
So to all of those who clearly went round the model show but didn’t introduce themselves, shame on you

Except Extrucker who indeed did and shall forever be a shining light of Trucknet politeness!

And yes, I was wearing a badge that said Lonewolf with the same pic on as is over there on the left!

I did speak to you and asked if you were Lonewolf from this site and introduced myself !

Hi Folks,

Really enjoyed Gaydon 2011, credit to all the exhibitors and organisors. Thank you.

Ref. Wardg photo (Steel Boys 10th Anniversary Run), the real highlight of my visit was coming across this Scania 3 series.

My favourite motor in unbelievably good condition; with the odd tasteful tweek.

Credit to the owner, who’s now one lucky man.

Cheers

Simon

Hi all, brilliant pics lads was there Sat first time at Gaydon won’t be last brilliant day !!!

Nice meeting you Jimski. Glad you enjoyed the models and were “inspired”! So we’ll see you exhibiting next year then?

We have quite a few modelling “clubs” each year, maybe we should have a “trucknet club” offering next year. What about you Wheelnut? Fancy it?

My model building skill are like a three year old. I stick my lips together with glue.

By the way I was in disguise at Gaydon. I was dressed as a fat bloke with a walking cane

Greetings,All.
That Rutland gets around,I’m pleased to say,I saw it on the Brighton Run in May.Keep up the good work Gentlemen,this website is,in my mind,the best.When you look at some of the latest lorries with the power they have under the bonnet and compare them with the 150’s and Traders etc. that we used to go up the road with,it does make you a little envious.All the best to you all, 900x20.

greek · 1 July 2011 02:23
