Truckfest 2004

Yes they are quite good, (or used to be its been about 6 years since I last went), Peterborough is the biggest of the events, Lots to see though in one day.

Being in haulage I'm probably more into it, but if you like custom & good looking vehicles, well worth a visit. Trouble is the arena shows take up so much time you have to decide what to see if you want to cover all or it.

Bush Tucker Man:
Generally a good little event in Wakefields Thornes Park, unfortunately its' on the 'Billing Friday'
Lots of restored stuff, even a Leyland Martian in attendance usually

(anybody remember when Brian Hartley -'Club Off-Road'- supremo has one?)

muddyweb:
Truck Fest (South West) is normally at the Royal Bath & West showground, Shepton Mallet.

Used to go there a lot in my yoof...   great fun if you like big shiny, chrome covered trucks... as you say, the airbrush work on some of them is superb.

Being in the driving trade I went several times during the late 80's early 90's. It was a really good day out even back then.
It was around the time that Steve Murty had Pro-Jet blowing tranny bread vans over and did wheelies with that big old yellow thing.
They even had a local version at Norwich in 1989 or '90.
Happy days.

Re; Steve Murty.
You mean the Land-Train wheelie truck?, or as he called it 'Sky-Train'
Was the jet-truck the Ford Cargo at that time?

I used to see these at Doncaster Custom Show, when it was proper motors, not tarted-up Novas & Saxos
