Re: Truckfest Daymeet
We met up with (hopefully) some new forum members today too! Sorry i'm useless at names, (i did ask, then forgot! ) I'm sure a few peeps on here will be interested to see what was attached to the sides of your bongo, and what vehicle they came from!
Hope you spot these pics and join the forum! (you can remind me of your names then!)

Re: Truckfest Daymeet
Theres a great number of reasons for a good life style of living in Cornwall, but it's a bit out of the way when it comes to travelling to meets such as this. Looks like it was a good one.

And how made up was i when Rick Yemm (from the TV show "Ice road truckers")took a few minutes to chat to DBO and myself?
Ya know how people say "you look bigger on tv"? Well, rick...you look bigger on tv!

Re: Truckfest Daymeet
The nutter on this bike actually managed to land back on the ramp perfectly each and every time...You wouldn't think it from the pics though!
You can almost smell the Autoglym...
The Guy with this builder's van (yes, a builder's van!) Must have thought it was a Freda!
And i could see me loading manky skips onto this everyday! (not!) I'd have to carry a portable jetwash everywhere with me so i could wash the skips before hoisting them on!

Re: Truckfest Daymeet
When you consider that most of the vehicles are actually the drivers homes for the majority of the time, i guess you can see why they have an affinity for them.. Everyone likes a nice home! I really can't see where they find the time to maintain them from the rigours of the work they endure each day... Take that skip lorry pictured above, at a casual glance you'd think, oh aye...58 reg, hasn't had chance to get mankied up yet...look again, Y reg! I've seen Rollers and beemers newer than that in nowhere near as good condition... Ya gotta appreciate the passion and effort that goes into these vehicles.

Re: Truckfest Daymeet
Fantastic art work Very photo realistic It's a shame though...when you look at the green cab with Max & Paddy on it.... look over to the left of the picture of Max's head, you get a really realistic image of Max with a camera round his neck.... The lad's let himself go a bit , don't ye think

Re: Truckfest Daymeet
Finally got access to the computer yet another great meet and the sun stayed with us all day good to see all the old faces again - well a bit older than they were last time I saw them. The trucks on display were a credit to the owner / drivers and watching some of them polishing them made me realise polishing a Bongo isn`t that hard. One driver was polishing the alloy wheels on his truck - not hard you think - but he was driving an eight wheeled tipper. A great first meet Ste. Roll on Southport.
If I had all the money I ever spent on my Freda ............ I`d spend it on my Freda.
