	Last weekend was the local Vintage Machinery Society’s annual Steam Fair / Vintage Machinery Show / Tractor Pull so I popped along for a look. Here are some pics. Cars first. Wolseleys. Oldsmobile 442 – with Hurst floor shift Another Oldsmobile 442 – without a Hurst floor shift (or possibly just without the sticker) Immaculate Holden Taxi Nice Elan Thames van Buick Eight Special Ugly Lincoln Beautiful Bentley Patina Two icons of motoring history Jaaaag enjoying the autumn sunshine 1800 Ute with patina. Stunning , simply stunning Modified Minor Van Humpy Humpy Ute Aussie Chrysler On patrol. How do you like your Monaros? Modified? Or Stock? Not the last of the V8 Interceptors

	Now Trucks Morris Commercial with one of the best badges I’ve ever seen Commer truck – I like the mechanical indicator I can’t believe he went to all the bother of wearing High Vis and then decided to lie under the truck! Imagine this tailgating you..... Very clean Chevy Chevy fuel truck This Albion (1 of 12 left in the world) is there every year, and every year it has had a bit more work done to it. The Thornycroft that was languishing in the yard at the car show late last year has been restored (i.e. painted). It is a 1948 Amazon Diesel crane according to the sign. Now tractors, some of which may be pulling stuff. Waiting their turn It might be shiny, but it is no trailer queen – it managed 85 metres Drama – one of the entrants has an issue and all he was doing was following the trailer so he could pull it back to the start line. Shiny MF to the rescue! Getting ready to pull PULLING! One man, two tractors, and a can of “Start Ya curse word”. This lad didn’t do very well. The commentator took great delight in pointing out he had his lights on “which will probably make him go further”. On the second run he suggested “he might need more lights.” And finally, the coolest thing there – I immediately thought of Killdozer (the film). It is actually a 1974 CAT D7.
