That bloke who is 91 retired when I was born that’s mad to think about, been retired for 30 years what a legend. Chris bloody good show pal keep them coming ❤🎉
Crazy maté isn’t it! Still got all his faculty’s to ❤️
Mental matey you should definitely get some stories out of him I bet he’s got some good ones to tell
Ya know what Chris you talking with Geoff was beautiful, you are the Geoff of now. I'm sure you'll be a pleasure to talk with when your 91! 😊❤
Best video you’ve done to date Chris…..100%……..Jeff…91 years old, sharp as as a razor, proper old school bloke, salt of the earth….great chat that Chris….and Keith…..star, “couldn’t be arsed”….brilliant……Thankyou.👍👌🇮🇲
Yeah was nice to talk to everyone mate! Interesting people 👊👍
Hi Chris! Great listening that Geoff. It so nice you take the time to talk to your fans! You made his day I bet!😊🇨🇦
Yeah lovely bloke! Was taken back that he looks at my channel to tell you the truth Jerry 😊 I’m always shocked that people actually go out there way to come and have a chat mate ❤️
@@Professional-strugglerIf I ever made it across the pond I would make every effort to meet up with you! You have that everyday person charisma that makes you so popular. Another thing I notice is you give everyone your ear and you actually listen to them, rare thing in humans nowadays plus your funny as heck 😆🇨🇦
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bunch of blokes whose dedication shines bright.
Deffo mate 💯❤️ nice to keep the old ones going and it takes some doing
Absolutely howling at you and Michael train sorry lorry watching and when you done the train spotting guy actions I choked on my juice spat it all over 😂😂😂😂😂 fuknsupa😂😂😂😂
@ 30 minutes in ,Tony McGovern passed away recently , a wonderful man in many respects , and who brought back to life a fleet of classic vehicles from across the decades.. sorely missed.
Geoff is an amazing old boy,hope i reach 91 let alone be as good as him,great vid as always Chris,struggle on bud,struggle on.
Yeah lovely bloke, nice to meet him 👌
Thanks for taking us along, some lovely old gear there.
Father in law goes to this every year, he is the same age as your dad snd has driven all his life, still does a few days a week now. Going to Truckfest in Newark hope to see you there....😊
Yeah I’ll be there mate 👍
Yes Chris love it meet u at the open day for D to the L what a nice genuine Man you are mate meeting you Sam and Jack made my year keep on the struggle Chris Yh u will 😂😂
You two truck spotting at the end had me howling 🤣 what a pisser. Nice one Chris appreciate the time and effort you put in to keep us all entertained.
Thanks Tony mate👍 🚝🥸🤓
Hi Chris ....what a mega vlog mate .... absolutely loved it 👍🏻👍🏻
The difference between the shows in Lincoln and Newark are like night and day....Lincoln and all you can eat buffet and an a la carte meal in Newark.
You can't beat enthusiasts and equipment! Pride , knowledge and give you the time to explain their pride and joy.
The electric lorry ....wow 1936!! The first Tesla and more reliable!!
Cracking day for it to! Can't beat the sun ☀️ until it rained but you had a good dry spell!!
I was at the Tattenhall classic car show yesterday and saw some amazing vehicles ...harriers , 1600 sport, rs 200, 6r4's , intergrale's....to Jensen interceptors and Lamborghinis....was a great day ! Listening to some of the old American V8's....roaring !
Truck spotters 😂😂😂 rule 😅
Funny enough yesterday the car park had as many super cars nearly as the event!!
Catch you in the week mate Gary 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wetting myself at the end with the train spotting bit 😂😂
Thanks for helping bring back some great old memories looking round the show. I past my test in a DAF 2800 (30 year ago)😂. I remember my old man driving a Scammell and AEC. I would love to see some off the new guys trying to drive they old things with no power steering and splitter gearbox. Bloody good show and would love to go to it one day👍
I could listen to Geoff all day long about his life, I bet he's seen some things. Thanks Chris for taking the time to talk to your subscribers. 👍
Me to mate! love hearing the stories of the past, I’d love to do a podcast and talk to all the old ones while there still with us ❤️
@@Professional-struggler That would be really good listening to the old guys escapades back in the day, people need to remember once they are gone they are gone no getting those stories told from the horses mouth, I wish I'd of asked my Grandad more than what I did about his Rolls Royce tow truck which he and his father converted during WW2 they used it for pulling army vehicles out of ditches and muddy fields as it wad the only vehicle that could do it. If my Grandad's dad wasn't available the police asked my Grandad to drive it and get the army vehicle out he was only 14 with no licence 🤣 those were the days. I have a photo of the Rolls tow truck, it was based in Fareham Hampshire, Even Rolls Royce tried to sue my Great Grandad because a Rolls Royce shouldn't be made into a tow truck my Great Grandad told them to jog on he said it's his vehicle that is bought and paid for and he can do what ever he wants to it, Rolls Royce weren't to happy. 🤣 If you want to see the photo send me your email address and I will send it to you.
@@Professional-strugglernow that’s something I can get behind and just like this channel it will be a bloody good podcast
Bloody brilliant cheers Chris ❤
The East Yorkshire Motor Services buses had sloped sides in order to fit through Beverley Bar.
This is what it should be like 💪🏻
Bless him the old bus driver.
Yeah nice old chap 👌
@@Professional-struggler he is you 50 years mate x
Brilliant video Chris and lots of lovely trucks and Geoff what a lovely man whoop whoop 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🍺🍺🍺🍺

The East Yorkshire buses version of the AEC Bridgemaster were specially built with that tapered roofline to fit under Beverley Bar in Beverley near Hull.
well done man so much respect for the people and history of the transport industry that have brought people to work and food etc to everyone for the last 100 years. a great video chris .
Wow what a fantastic video bud and what a fella that geff was 91 and still going strong. Well done bud stay safe. 👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺😂🤣😂🤣
Old is best all this electric rubbish and we had it over 40 years ago hopefully see you at the soon
Fantastic listening to those trucks & watching them go off down the road! One of your best yet.
Wow, what an amazing video!!! I can’t believe how amazing Jeff was!! I’d love to still be that active & mentally sharp at that age. Wow, that “hybrid” truck was amazing!! Some absolute treasures there Chris!! Wow, what that guy didn’t know about twin splitter boxes wasn’t worth knowing. Very knowledgeable man!! 👌 One of the best gearboxes I ever had the pleasure of driving. Had one for just over 2 years. Once you were used to it, it was an incredible box!!! All the best Chris. Thank you so much for this!!
Chris You videos are amazing 👍🏻💪🏻🏴🍻 you crack me up 🤣
Wow Chris, that gorgeous ice-elecro generator-drive to axle diff motor lorry blew my mind too! What a lovely old piece of kit I never knew existed too.
Thanks for taking us to a real truck show today.
This week’s Vid was right up my steet as always mate. Mucho grassy

Absolutely brilliant, I didn’t want it to end. They don’t make em like they used to.
Great Video Chris 👍.
'ey up Chris, it was really nice to meet you at the Daines-Lowe open day 👍👍👍
Bloody brilliant that Chris, montage of your truck spotting adventures at the very end made me laugh so much, it’s made a shite day of meetings end with me smiling and laughing in a hotel bar and everyone is probably thinking what’s he on! 😂😂😂 looking forward to the next one, yeah you know!
Brilliant video Chris
What great and very interesting video really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing.
Chris That ERF in the background with T.J. Parry & Sons is my Mate from Halfway House Shrewsbury when you were talking to that 91 year old Gentleman what a very interesting story 👍🏻🏴💪🏻And I got a copy of that Truck & Driver
Absolutely superb video, Chris. The 1930's hybrid wagon is absolutely amazing. What a feat of engineering from back in the day...
Fantastic.... Why would anyone waste their money on a TV licence when we have great stuff like this to watch??? We watched instead of Sunak/Starmer..... no contest!!
Brilliant video Chris. Some of them old trucks couldn't half shift at the end
That was a nice surprise as you got my classic Albion Mixer getting shunted back on my low loader and then again leaving and yes Ben Guy Big J was my fav motor too.
at 91 years, the transformation of society he has seen is immense, ww2, cars, phones, computers,...........
Brilliant Chris what a Difference it makes for people who have the knowledge to put something back together and keep it running for us all to see and some of these young men in there 80&90 should get there things they know down on video,enjoying this one 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 A Big thanks too everyone who took the time to get there👌
I agree mate 💯! Lovely to catch it on film for everyone to see 👍👍 cheers Thomas mare
I'm thinking that show ground was the old air base that I stayed at for a fortnight in 84 or 85 with the Army Cadets, we came down from Dundee.
The old billets they had us staying wouldn't be put up with by the young uns today 😂😂
Possibly mate there was an old air field just going out of balderton near the old A1 there is still a plaque there 👍
I love All your videos Chris keep them coming I'm from DUBLIN IRELAND and if you are ever over here I will Buy you some FOSTER'S and that old Electric truck from 1936 was BAD ASS and they are trying to bring out All these E,V,s today and they had them 100 years ago. I remember learning to drive a truck when I was a kid it was an 1970s BEDFORD and I whould drive it around the yard all the time I chould drive a truck before I chould drive a car and I got very good at Reversing truck's because I whould get to Park them all into the workshop at night

I worked on a crane that used a diesel generator to power the hoist, trolley, and traction motors. Quite reliable but difficult to set up potentiometers for speed control.🇨🇦

As someone who did an apprenticeship at London Brick and subsequently owned a Matador, this was a nostalgic experience. I have so many spannering memories of AEC Mercury, Mammoth Major, Marshall & Matador. Great video, thank you Chris.
What a lovely day out Chris with nice people that’s what’s it’s about who wants to be a millionaire 🤔👍👍
Yeah the people make the show mate 👌 I’ve been told from a recently well off friend that all the money hasn’t bought him any happiness
Fantastic Chris, what a wonderful show, that electric truck....mind-blowing....loved you getting over excited at the end of the video.....hilarious😅😅😅
Mint video mate ❤ the Chanel 😂
Cheers Shane mate ❤️👍🤠
Merv Edwards ran BNA302M on timber for a long while. It was ex-BRS and has a Cummins small cam 290 - uprated to 335 and a 13-speed Fuller Roadranger in it. Merv uprated the back axle to a Rockwel and it's legendary status as a dragster was born. It's claim to fame was that Merv's drivers couldn't get it into top gear due to the speed it was travelling by the time it got to that last gearchange. So good to see it still runs after so long in the shed...
Fantastic Chris
