Terry Ainger is entering his Scammell Crusader.
aye,got my pass on Monday,by eck the times dragging.
it’s a pity that such shows are not popular in Europe.Good excursion to the old-truck world - nice models, but the mail is the spirit of those times 
i don’t know why, but for me such shows assosiated old western America

I spoke to organiser, Lee yesterday, they have 160 trucks booked in, and @ 30+ running in, sounds like its going to be a great season closer for many of us 
A few of us are up to Gaydon to help set up Friday PM, the boys have done a great job, and Mechanic 77 is now their Press and PR Manager (Wales and Southern Hemisphere) , WHAT A STAR!
