BC Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 It would be alright if I could get it parked inside the main foyer Alex but I would have to sleep in it just in case it was sabotaged. Anyway not a pratical car for taking home loads of purchases in ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 A very good show, can't compare to other years as it's the first I've been to in three years but the place was buzzing and absolutely heaving with people. The auction seemed to go on for ever, in fact most of the day it seemed, didn't see anything sold as there was not much that interested me and it was so cold you didn't want to stand around for any length of time. in the auction there were I reckon at least 40 tractors up for sale from complete baskets to highly restored and quite a bit of other machinery and the usual scrap. The sheds were full of nice exhibits and some nice 'real life' dioramas and the trade stalls and stands seemed to be doing a roaring trade and people were all carrying bags of loot so they must have been spending. The food caterers were also doing a good trade with it being so cold but were rather expensive in my mind, Me and Martin, my mate who I went with and his little boy had our dinner in the Stockmans restraunt, had a job to find a seat and a table but the food was a good wide and varied choice which was hot and very good value for the money. Congrats again to the FTF boys on their stand, again a cracking display and very nice to see some old faces again and meeting some new ones for the first time. A very enjoyable and rewarding first day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 very good show, great to give ftf and the mag a bit of limelight there, lots of potential new members, and great to see laods of familiar faces to, thanks to all that made the effort to pop in and see us over the weekend, and hello to any new members that have joined after meeting us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Right, just got back from the show and had a great day, just to whet the appetite here is the FTF stand And a couple of strange hangers on who seemed to know each other, in other words Sean at his most polite and The Big Cheese aka Andy I am sure that the "official" FTF photographer will post up some better photos later but here is a quick shot of him in action ;D ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 One of the interesting and fun things to watch was a competition to rebuild a tractor with 3 teams competing against each other Whilst I was watching this team won, it took exactly 8 minutes from start to finish, engine running and standing on all 4 wheels, the longest took 11 minutes and 20 seconds :of :of :of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
