A few new ones and some i've seen at Truckfest, like the McBurney's Scania 730  :tongue:

Glad you like them folks - I was impressed at the turnout for such a show as I had been at one in the big smoke (Belfast  :grin:) a few years back and a lot of the 'big boys' weren't there like the McBurneys and Montgomerys.

The Titanic thing over here has been done to death over the last few months with the centenary (like I imagine how most of you already feel about that event in London later this year  :grin:) so its not surprising I had to stand for about 5 minutes just to get a clear photo.  The driver could probably have got away with charging people to look at it  :grin:

Ian Rush's neck was modelled on the bull's on the back of Wilson McCurdy Juniors  :grin:

Too young to have seen him first hand but I hear he was so good he would be more comparable to the dogs  :grin:

Some nice old Scania's as well as older and newer trucks on display it's always good to see pictures from events you can't attend
