NEW YEARS GATHERING

[RWL81P]

posted in chit chat as its not a show. a fella not too far away from me has been rebuilding a sentinel steam lorry for about 20 years. he got it road worthy a couple of years ago and uses it as much as he can. so on new years day for the last couple of years he's had a bit of a get together at his house, started with just a few friends with their hobbies. word has started to get around and more people have started to turn up. he spent all day taking people out for rides in the steam lorry. dunt charge owt for it and put soup and cups of tea on for people.

Think trucks like that are ace to see, it also highlites the amount of progression made over the years. I'd love to give one of my drivers one of those the next time he defects a truck because the heated mirrors don't work !!

despite what people say, yorkshire folk aren't that tight! yeah was a decent day and not too cold either. a couple of guys i know, 1 drove 20 mile on his nuffield tractor and the rode about 35 mile on his 1916 triumph! john who owns the trucks and put all this on is talking about using a field or pub car park up the road next year. i think he may have got something going here!
