some good pics in there.
Cracking photos mate. Looks like it was a decent show.
I’m looking forward to going to the Original truckfest in september. That should be a good one to go to
Cheers

Yep, I’ve always said “you can’t run a tipper without a properly painted and air-brushed shovel”.

It looks like a greyhound with a bulldogs head .
i met the owner of them tippers at a recent show he told me it had never worked since it was new at peterboro he told me it was going to work it after shepton mallett mainly doing plainings and loading out of there yard,.good luck to the shovel driver who has to load that with out dropping stone on it
Nice photos, cheers for posting them.
Some quality trucks there by the looks of it. Really like that Wheelers rigid, looks a serious bit of kit. Also the Kingston Scania rigid is a great example how a simple paint colour and limited graphics can make a truck spot on in my opinion.

Who the hell can afford a wagon like that (+ all useless extras) and then afford it to stand for all that time while they show it off at truck shows?

rumour had it it cost mr Doyle 250 grand with every consumable extra available . think you find it stands over 14 ft tall no good for loading tarmac under the hoppers. what it is to have money !!!
Good pics guys thanks for sharing…Random question tho,ya know the newer scanias photographed how come they dont have the covers on the steps anymore that drop down?? have they stopped doin them now cos personaly i thought they made them look more finished off,smooth lined! Or are they just an extra that people dont bother with?? any ideas.

that is because they were a crap design and kept breaking, so Scania stopped doing them
