Obviously because a Dodgem car is the preferred mode of transport for Giant Penguins...

And why not!
Looks like a good 'do' What is that single Burrell tractor? The Fowler Tiger looks just right on the straiks, good to see Len on his new engine. Oh & Garry , whats up with your dad? He looks like he's just swallowed a goldfish!

The Burrell "So Be It" is owned by a gentleman from Nottingham and one of the last ones or something like that to come out of Thetford.
It used to have Aveling front wheels on it, but now has Burrell ones. hence the different colour.

Regards

Matt

Does anyone have a contact address for Jeff Lamb they could PM - he has been to our show previously, but my 'unique' filing system has failed me (again).

:) Carefull Jim, he reads this sometimes you know! I shall shortly be joining him for a pint so I'll ask him, although I suspect that it may be something to do with driving something that;
a. Goes the same way as the road wheels
b. Has the steering wheel on the correct side
c. Is able to be driven on the road while you can still converse with the other person on the footplate
d. Has a sensible roof that actually keeps you dry.

etc etc :p
Enough to turn most fowler men into a something that looks like it's just swallowed a goldfish I reckon!
