[@Professional-struggler]

[@jerrypruden887]

@@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 😆🇨🇦

[@ManxAndy]

[@TheHendoncat]

@ 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.

[@andybowyer3602]

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! 😊❤

[@williamparry9314]

Thanks for taking us along, some lovely old gear there.

[@ciderant]

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👍

[@retiredtruckersgarage.7606]

absolutely loved it,i always thought it would be same as other truck shows,ill be there next year,ashfield hauliers are john wright and carl,i used to work for stan wright and alan(chiggy)at S A & D WRIGHT back in the early seventies along with my dad who they called black dag,my old running mate was johnny allen (no relation ?)best vid by far mate.

[@garysides636]

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 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@markknox9902]

Old is best all this electric rubbish and we had it over 40 years ago hopefully see you at the soon

[@damiantyreman8894]

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....😊

[@Professional-struggler]

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 ❤️

[@sprograt]

​​@@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.

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

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!!

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 😂😂

[@Professional-struggler]

Possibly mate there was an old air field just going out of balderton near the old A1 there is still a plaque there 👍

[@janebrown4319]

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!!

[@AliMackMechanical]

Bloody good show Chris. They Used to old AEC tanker in my uncle's Garage used it for diesel for the trucks on sites. Lovely old man Geoff is 👍🤙🍻

[@octopus680]

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.

"You can bar the adjuster ring round":😁 like it - on a Wednesday maybe, but 1/2 the time the poxy thing is seized. I hope for your sake that's a Lipe and not a Spicer.

[@Jetpac74]

Great video Chris. I did spot the Diddly Squat Farm bag - that would be a cracking video with you mingling with the crowd there and maybe some automotive banter with Clarkson too 😆👍 Did you hear anything back on those tool requests from last week?

[@marcobrian1619]

That dark blue east Yorkshire bus you looked at....that was the standard routmaster.... My dad had worked on that one. The one you need to see is 644 Beverly bar bus, only one left, the roof is really curved. And yes IV drove them all. Did work there for some years. Chris, can I say..... fantastic vid....not a digital taco, add blue or dpf in site.....and look at them still running..... Old school stuff was made to run and be repaired along way, not like this Morden shit.

[@doylechurch9854]

Great video Chris, lots of good old trucks, nice to see them. And nice to see Mr Safety/Truck Spotter at the end of the video, LMAO Classic Mate!!

[@rollingthunder45]

Awesome video mate, took me back to when I started on a Foden 8 legger with a Gardiner 180, going through 12 gears to reach 30mph. When men were made outta clay! 👍

Just to clarify that any so rumoured charges for towing folks off Lincoln truckfest where not from the lads on tractors at all. if anything we all had a decent crack with truckers etc. people where giving tips and drinks on the tow in but to be totally honest a lot of folks did not need towed out on the Monday.

Hi Chris I loved truck fest after your struggle I think I am going to give it a miss everything is overpriced the charge like a rhino

[@markmawson1]

Chris all those old vehicles are only here because of lazy people because they couldn't be bothered to scrap them so they left them sitting in a yard or woodland only to be found decades later when they were rare so they get restored, so you have to thank lazy owners 😂😂
