Hi Tony, Which was your engine? You should have come up and said hello! The half sized landrover was driven by my hooligan of an eight year old who insists on wearing his top hat at shows (and sometimes school). he is a very competent driver and steers well clear of people and if in doubt will stop. Barry lads are a bit older but are likewise careful. All of them are supervised though as where Liam was I was close behind. The showground was big enough for him to travel around a bit and he actually followed me in the ring right behind the Garrett. He knackered the batteries by midday sunday but there was another one that was darker in colour also there and that took a turn in the ring on Sunday.

The bloke was a prize knob who seemed to rub everyone up the wrong way on every level. You should have got off and told hom where to shove his tryke. You wouldn't have been the first that weekend... or second or even third.

Nice surprise to see two Burrell Scenics in the same place! Chance to compare the differences...

4" Foster down the end near RichardHead.

Due to a few health problems I'm not able to camp overnight, so arrived on Saturday to hear of RichardHead hoarding all the coal and then on Sunday morning hearing him whinge that somebody had nicked 5 bags overnight, I half expected to find all "his" coal gone and some washing up liquid left somewhere by mistake

Just to add to the praise mentioned so far...

Sadly we couldn't bring the Foden along as its out of action at the moment having a new boiler, that said, I brought along our smallest vehicle (and oldest if you exclude the horse drawn) in our fleet, a 1926 Bullnose Travellers Van. Anyway, over the past 20 years, I've gone to loads of events in the UK with old vehicles, and I can honestly say, I thought this show was right up there as one of the best, which considering its in its second year is a massive achievement to all those involved. Roll on next years event!

Thank you Bill and the team for hosting a great event.
