Title: Retro Truck Show
Post by: regsteph on August 27, 2012, 10:05:15 AM
Saw this advertised as 15 & 16 September, there is also a Model Show and trade stands in the exhibition centre.
BUT have just looked on the Gaydon site and it seems the show is only on the Sunday.
Unless you know different. :rolleyes:

Gareth May was also there with a nice collection, but i was too busy gassing and forgot to take photo,s, he,d been burning the midnight oil the friday before the show to get stuff finished, and Tony (volvotony) was also there but again i forgot to take photo,s :lipsrsealed:
the model show was very good though and could go on to be as big as the classic show, so well done to the organisers
the trucks outside where great, i,ll post a link, sorry if there a bit VOLVO and SCANIA heavy, couple of favourettes

Great photos and comments Gordon - thanks a lot.

A little too far to travel for this one, yet once per year to Gaydon doesn`t feel enough.

I'd say that you have the camera sorted, it's the keyboard that you need to have some practice with!!  :grin:

I know the guy who owns this sooty van. cheesey as it may be it does look good along side his trucks.

I didnt get to take any photos of the models im affraid, it was a wrestle trying to carry the "can do" wrecker kit, my camera bag ( a ruksack) and take a photo at the same time lol

There was some nice trucks there, as gordon as said there was a fair bit of modern stuff. Me and uncle was a bit suprised that no one from volvo tried to jump down your throat and try and sell one of the new 750 globetrotters, even when my uncle made a comment in front of the sales rep he was intrested in one lol

Managed to get there on Saturday about 5pm got about 280 pics of the 1 to 1 trucks outside some for personal reference and some had to be done twice because of the stool pidgion,s standing in the way. But other than that it was a good show with some good weather. Didn,t get any of the models on display because of the same above idiots getting in the road. What beats me is why do they put opening time 10am then let the muppets in at 9:15am  :angry: .
