Road run of tractors and steam vehicles

[daverapid]

:)I went to a road run of tractors and steam vehicles today that my friend organised. I was a marshall and the recovery driver on call,but I found time to take some pics. Here's some of a few old cars that were there, is anyone interested in seeing the tractors and steam vehicles too?

;)BTW,the Beetle was nothing to do with the event, it just happened to pass while I was parked on the side of the road directing traffic and I thought I'd grab a pic!

:)Well,here goes, TBH I don't know what a lot of these are cos I'm not really a tractor and steam fanatic,but I enjoyed seeing them anyway.










I thought Discovery's were quite big till I saw this!

Very nice

Spots the 'Little Grey Fergie', MF35 and David Brown Aircraft Tug on the Tractor side.

Plus I really like the ex-army AEC Matador and Morris Breakdown truck.

Imagine this:

You'r stopped at a red light on an intersection with heavy traffic, your sanding on a steep downhill and in the rearview mirrors you see this.....



.... coming at ya and it don't look like it's slowing down!!!! What do you do??

DP asks: Don't you guys have any real tractors over there?



DP says: Cool stuff, I just love a tractor with patina & the smell of manure.....

[goldenwonder]

Some cool pictures there, in particular I'm loving the old AEC and Morris Commercial recovery lorry, the little Austin's pretty nice too! The tractors are great as well, as are the old steam wagons, but it's the old internal combustion stuff that caught my eye, besides I've been in steam wagons on the road before, great fun to look at and interesting to be in on the move but I really wouldn't like to do a days work in one! ;D As brutal as British lorries were even up until the 60s, those were a hundred times worse! ;D

Cool pics, especially the steam lorries! However, my favourite tractor has to be a Field Marshall due to the deeply cool art deco design:



:-)

field marshalls rock in every sence packed full of torque for towing, most beautifully sounding tractor, thanks to the 6litre single cylinder engine ;D ;D ;D look closely when there stationary the fronts bouncing up and down
