I think its what they call work in progress!

Paul John:
Great shots Cliff, well done. Looks as if the weather is good also. Who have you met today?

Nathan,(muckaway) I had planned to go to the show but due to unforeseen circumstances (health) had to cancel. I would of been first in and last to leave, surely there is plenty to do, and people to meet.

Regards to all,

Paul.

Oh yes, 319 trucks attended this years show, and visitor numbers up also, the sun came out, and the whole site had a haze of derv over it… :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Has any one got any pictures of the Swains scania 141 ? Tony

early Saturday morning, show build up

att:
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Proper trucks and good people, spoke to loads of folk and learnt a lot.
The guy with the ‘L’ reg 88/86 is a good laugh, had a fair bit of Oak on it, worth a few bob I reckon…Oak is not a cheap wood these days! Trailer is a 1971 example and he knows all the C&U regs :sunglasses: Good to see a proper truck, earning a living and blasting the bull crap outta the sky :sunglasses:

He’s a top guy - this was snapped a couple of weeks ago

Hi Everyone,

A MASSIVE thank you to all those who attended yesterdays show, it seems everyone enjoyed it, and the icing on the cake is that we raised an amazing £4,143.00 for our chosen breast and testicular cancer charities, and that is true I didn’t just choose that number because I own one!!! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

A cracking show.A great sum of money for excellent causes.
Cheers Dave.

Great show really had a good day looking round some interesting lorries.
