+1 I was there today too, will definetely need to pre-book a ticket next year! (20 mins to get in at the gate!)

Was top notch though! Multiple FH16 750s, R730 et all plus some stunning fleets! (Malcolms have got a cracking display, never knew just how diverse their fleet was!) i'll post up some pics later...

I might head over from Nottingham then. Being a Scania fanboy I'm sold on the R730's!

not my fave truck to drive, but always thought scanias are a great looking truck.
some top tackle there, like the "vabis" number plate

Well I went. It started raining when I got there and stopped when I left. Worth a look though even in the rain.

Nope, I drive the bloody things all week and have no desire to suffer the fking things when I don't have to. Do office workers go to copierfest or the suchlike I wonder? Or are the out having a life away from work?

I work in the transport and distribution industry yet still enjoy Truckfest and the like in my own time. That's just me I suppose.

i drive a tipper all week so its nice to see some clean lorries! 3rd generation driver so i suppose its in my blood. i admire the effort that goes into presenting the trucks in the condition they show them.

My thoughts exactly

nice pics. havn't been for a few years as it was getting abit same old same old.
would go again in the future. although i can't be arsed with the whole polishing my truck thing, not my bag as long as the inside is mint thats all that matters to me. i do admire the effort these people put in though, and some stunning looking motors, fair play.

There's more than one a year - the big one it Peterborough and then there is Edinburgh, Newark (the original location I believe) and one in the south-west.

I actually prefer Scanias to Scuderia, so maybe this forum is my new home?
