brianih634 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Nice pics Bill, Nice to meet you aswell Thoroughly enjoyed my day out, Mrs ih634 begs to differ though, she was freezing and bored with me stopping looking at tractors and talking to people all the time :D Was talking to a guy whom I used to go to college with and it turns out his family owned the tractor I now have, for a fair few years, and he spent many an hour driving it!! small world.

BC Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Thanks for sharing the pics with us, very nice indeed. Looks like a good "working" event with plenty of interesting exhibits Oh it is an excellent working event Mark and the dry and sunny weather made it even more enjoyable. One of the best shows I attend in the season because you actually get your hands dirty use your machines instead of sitting around and driving round a couple off circuits in the ring. Only 360 odds sleeps till the next one ;D The event is run by the owner of BA Allan Brownie and after expenses all proceeds are for charity. Last year £ 5,000 was donated to charity including £ 2,000 to the ANCHOR cancer unit at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. This year the main charity is Marie Curie. Lest hope we exceed the £ 5,000 of last year. Allan actually just made the event himself after having been in hospital with a kidney stone and then picked up an infection. He was looking like death warmed up on Saturday and should have probably been resting but there was no way he was going to miss his 5th show.

Glad you enjoyed the day Brian and it was nice meeting up with another forum member. I can understand what Mrs IH634 was saying but can I suggest for next year you send her shopping and you and Stevie come along on your own ;D That's amazing to meet someone who drove your tractor in past. All adds to the excitement of the hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good show James and I'm sure you would have enjoyed it. Pity you could not make it to take the photos since it would have given me more time to cut grass and try to improve my ploughing ;D Another year perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGU Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I know the question was for Tris but is it Scammel 6x6 Explorer? Used to have a dinky toys one as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 I know the question was for Tris but is it Scammel 6x6 Explorer? Used to have a dinky toys one as a kid. Yes you are spot on Kev. It has now been fitted with a Leyland diesel engine and the owner ( the bearded one on the tank) was having great fun going over hills and howes and making those rear wheel axles piviot. I'm sure Tris will recognise this one having told me his grandfather used to drive one ( See my post in general discussion on some Classic Scanias and Vintage Trucks.

Deere-est Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I want one They are a smashing looking truck Bill.

Looks like a lot af machinery got a good work out and I was surprised to see that big Allis and dome of the artic steer MF'f there. On a modern note though. ..

Nice Audi * It was a really really good weekend Tris and I can't wait till next year . The chap on the Scammell Explorer was fairly enjoying himself putting it through her paces. I didn't have a chance to speak to him but I will try to do so at the next event he attends. I'm well pleased the the diesel car and so much more economical than my last a 2.5 litre V6 Vectra but I do miss the nicer purr of the V6 engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
