I would definitely make a journey from Scotland to see these trucks and rides. Simply amazing to see such care and attention that have went into them

[@fabiopires6388]

Best star family and an amazing night sky in Bath I remembered thinking I wish my heart attack was that day. In the quest to die happy I'm glad the Carter's still are the family they are.

[@34cartha1]

Brilliant could watch this all day long.

[@Myrddin1955]

As a kid I used to!

[@Clara-ph7my]

I love Carters fun fairs. Life would not be the same without the traditional local fair arriving. I appreciate the hard seasonal slog they do. Always welcome to my home town Coventry. Come on bring your Victory Dive Bomber back, much missed.

[@carlnapp8673]

This fleet seems to be beautifully maintained , hats off! Perhaps I should ask if they could use a driver. I'd pay to drive one of the Atkinsons. Keep it up! Cheers

[@Kudos1799]

Carl, you should ask Joby Carter if he could use your services, as he is having to do a double run from Hersham to Maldon due to a shortage of drivers May 2022.

[@tomgreen3101]

Amazing driving getting through that entrance!

[@nicolascaron5587]

C super de voir des vieux manège

[@kev1523]

Great stuff, Thanks

[@EezeeListen]

Great bit of driving around the 37:30 mark, coming into the grounds :) The driver of KPK 744K did an excellent job. I wonder how it was getting out of the grounds? It's a very hard, tough job , not short of it's stresses and strains.

[@W3BBDJ]

Eezee Listen that’s Joby Carter :) it’s his families fair!

[@cidertom5140]

@ peter piper these rides are vintage so you can't rush them just like you cant rush a restoration on a Ferrari 250 GTO where as thurstons are modern rides just in case you didn't realise this

[@Myrddin1955]

Thurston's used to have all the old big rides, all pulled (well mostly) by Diamond T's ! What an awesome sight that was, oh and the noise of their engines, truly fabulous sound!

[@johnnymolloy3813]

[@izzywharton7979]

I uesd to go to that fair it was big

[@robwebb3891]

Thanks

[@TheDevonblacksmith]

what are the sheets that the trucks are driving on in the gateway made of ?

[@MikeGreenwood51]

I think they are just rubber. They help just enough to stop the heave tires sinking 10 inches in to the soft earth.

[@indetree]

its a hard resin , there called alterna mats $200. a pop . used them in my tree bus. work very well .

[@MikeGreenwood51]

They are in Viccy Park, Bath again this coming Saturday 6th August 2016. It is raining today the 4th August, early morning.

[@amyjojinkerson6745]

is that all you can film is that 1 truck

[@wildandwackywade]

herein the usa we have limits on trucks can pull do you? it seems your trucks pull a lot of trailers

[@wildandwackywade]

yes thank you. I myself did work circus an carnival here. I often find it is nice to see what other countries do. Again thank you

[@wildandwackywade]

I wish we had laxed rules here make some jobs easier.

[@MikeGreenwood51]

Not sure what the law for those folk is. They are special licence under 'Showmans Giuld Licence'. I remember going through London in a double trailer plus traction unit measuring over a hundred feet. Extra exceptions may be made for vehicles with special adaptions such as hand steering on the rear of the third trailer to allow tight turns to be turned in to. Routes are often planned out with traffic departments before setting off. So as Showmen they get a bit of a wider allowance than than normal. But if some one wanted to move a two hundred footer with 150 wheels they could get a licence. It is all about getting approval and letting control departments know before hand. So Police can divert or escort abnomal loads and use local knowledge to plan the best route.

[@wildandwackywade]

ok thank you

[@MsJinkerson]

some of the goofyeast trucks ever and they are all right hand drive I bet

[@cidertom5140]

MsJinkerson rubbish!! Most fantastic reliability from British built lorries

[@brianrios5375]

[@ninkynonk]

[@pirate259]

The workers are not very swift! They would never last if they worked for Stanley Thurston!

[@cidertom5140]

Peter Piper like you’d know!!!

[@auntyflossie]

Wow you must have a good broadband service this file is Massive

[@MsJinkerson]

you would think the town would know enough to widen the gate

[@MikeGreenwood51]

To MsJinkerson It is a Victorian Park. With a Victorian gate post. It was widened. In Victoria's days. There are two other gates in to the same Park.
