Robey And Fowler's Trip To France
Had a Fantastic time in a little village in France called St Aubin du Bois, Perfect atmosphere, friendly people, no H&S despite the thousands of people there. And most of all fantastic food and drink, heres a few pictures of the event.
After being pushed off by a merlo in gear managed to make 5 pound of pressure without even lighting a fire

Driving on the right hand side of the road was interesting
You actually had to pay to get into the village, not on the engines though
Some early first world war lorries all original
The english have invaded!
