The trouble with these videos is that they are so riveting. I only clicked on it to see the first few seconds, and I watched the whole lot. But well worth the time.
Thank you for your kind comment and feedback on my video. I’m pleased you enjoyed it and watched it all the way through. I often do that, a quick visit to RUclips and before you know it, the night is gone.
Being a 65 year old HGV Driver. I have Driven a great deal of the Trucks in this vid. I was disappointed not to see a big FORD TRANSCONTINENTAL. I drove one for years and loved it.
Thank you for your comment. I have Googled it and the Ford Transcontinental was made between 1975 and 1984. A vehicle launched ahead of its time. archive.commercialmotor.com/article/6th-october-1988/40/ahead-of-its-time
@@radiowyn1703 I Loved my Ford Transcon. It pulled 20 ton like it wasn`t there. It had a 320 Cummins Engine and a Fuller range change Gearbox with over drive on the top 4. It pulled up Shap at 60-70 mph with 20 ton up no problem. But the Brakes weren`t that good. They were plagued with wiring problems. The main fuse and junction box was on the third step into the cab so it got dampness. I used to spray it once a week with WD40. I went all over Europe and the UK in it and loved every Minute. Over 40 years ago and I still remember the Reg NDM 190P. Happy Days.
@@russellkerfoot5423 It is great to look back at something that served you well. everything has its achilles heel, but it sounds like your Ford Transcontinental did a great job. Clearly you have fond memories of it. I can remember the reg numbers of my early cars, but find it difficult with the modern ones I have owned. Everything had more personality back in those days. I just DVLC checked your reg number and sadly it is no more.
I can remember the Ford Thames Trader when I was a kid. It was the worst truck that ever came to Australia. A friend of my fathers bought one and was almost out of his mind from day one. The agent wouldn't take it back at any price. They were all scrapped within a couple of years same as the Ford Pilot car. If you wanted a headache they were the way to go. English vehicles had a very bad name in this country.
The company my dad worked for had a whole fleet of Fords, trucks, vans, and cars including a Thames Trader. Not sure how reliable the Trader was. I know we used to have a Ford Thames 400e parked on the driveway at home, I used to sit on top of the engine cover in the cab, no health and safety concerns then. What was the work vehicle brand of choice in Australia?
I take it this is an annual event, covid aside, and presume it will not happen this year, 2021. I look forward to going to the next run. Fantastic turn out of so many makes.
Yes, it was an annual event until Covid, not happening this year, but hopefully will next year. A great display of vintage cars, bikes, buses and trucks. Also steam engines and vintage fairground rides.
These guys are crazy , keeping a truck as brand new as launched !! However , it is impossible in Hong Kong with rubbish gov policy and high storage cost.
Providing it have mirrors in the correct places and the correct types and colours of lights among other things for the age. A newer US vehicle with the dual purpose flashing tail lights for an indicators and no rear fog light as they're not a legal requirement over there would need separate orange indicators and a rear fog light to be fitted as they are a legal requirement here and have been for a while, so some classic US cars would also need a rear fog light added for them to be registered over here.
A lot of the haulage company owners bring their vintage trucks on the back of their modern trucks. Plus plenty of fans at the show for both new and old.

Didn't notice the old Rootes Group 'Commer truck'! They were one of the first trucks with the engine under the cab!

Beautiful trucks, to bad most of them have the steering wheel on the wrong side.
Thank you, there was a good mix of vehicles and very well restored. A few left hand drive, although I wouldn't fancy driving them on UK roads.
Bet the people in the hotel and b&bs loved the none stop horn blowing
I think that they are used to it, used to be an every year event.
Some old ones, others are newer creeping in
Yes, a good mix of old and new. Some haulage companies seem to have both new and old vehicles on display.

LHD truck can register the license in UK

7:11 is a new model or old model bike
Hello. Looks like a 1970s Suzuki GT550. If it is, it has an air cooled triple cylinder two stroke engine.
Same bike that originated in Pakistan

Volvo's and Scanias should be banned from these events on the charge of bringing lorry driving standards to rock bottom.
