I let my friend drive my fire engine during the 52nd Ipswich to Felixstowe vintage vehicle run!

[@SeaKing61]

Lawrie is so in tune with Jupes that he even rolls the window down in time with the engine revs 0:53

[@lmm]

😂 😂 😂 😂

[@hartleymartin]

What Lawrie needs next is a flatbed truck or heavy recovery vehicle. If that one follows Jupiter around, she will NEVER break down. LOL!

[@davidty2006]

Guess that scammel would be a good candidate.

[@lmm]

Yeah, it's something I'd really like

[@JeffBilkins]

Love the chug-chug at low revolutions.

[@tryingagain14]

2 words. Great show. Glad everything looked like a lot of fun. It was nice to see a lot of cars that aren't on this side of the pond. Can be very different, especially the prewar ones

[@CMD_Line]

I remember my boss at the time arriving in his new MK1 Elise.. seems like yesterday too. 😞

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Nice to see a supply of good old Mk1 Escorts!! I had one of those as a first vehicle!!

[@jaggass]

That Perkins V8 sounds lovely

[@msuddaby9958]

had an seddon diesel recovery truck with a Perkins v8 , pics on fb of it and a model i made

[@neilkeepingitreal]

I was the guy who shouted LAWRIE! as you drove through Trimley

[@lmm]

We heard you!

[@89turbo1]

That freightliner look massive over there. Here in Canada its just a normal truck.

[@roberthocking9138]

What a great show, awesome collection of vehicles

[@Madonsteamrailways]

At the end of the month - Saturday and Sunday of the long weekend - we have the Enfield Pageant of Motoring. You would be more than welcome to video it if you wish to.

[@lt1fd3s]

yes Lawrie, your memory does you well for the Model T on the pedal setup - but typically they are called "Low Gear" and "High Gear" (instead of 1st and 2nd) - you did fail to mention that to be in "Neutral", you hold the "clutch" pedal between low and high!

[@Trainsaregreat365]

By the looks of it Charles is a big fan of minis

[@carolinecleaveley-q1r]

Hi Lawrie . glad jupes had a good day Caroline

[@jadeboswell-rz2ly]

Hi Lawrie, My father was a test driver at Scammell's. I'm a Watfordian. Can't what to see you handle a explorer. Yes it's got a manual box, but it's Scammell technical, ie it's in reverse on the gate. Love the fact that Bristol VR was from Southdown and not red ho ho. Great video.

[@lmm]

I think I'd love it

[@tr673]

I have to say, filming a moving truck from a drone while inside said truck is pretty cool, and the sheer joy of Lawrie having Jupes flawlessly working and partaking in the run comes right across Sadly a bit of Ipswich's transport history has just been lost, as the last of 26 buses new between 2003-05 that were unique to the town (pretty rare these days) have recently been withdrawn for scrap. Shame, as one day in the far future I hoped to own one and take it on this road run

[@the_retag]

Check the scrapyard It might be available cheap

[@lewiscartwright3609]

I bought a Scania pump truck fire engine and I have named it Jupiter

[@sonofdat]

That was excellent. Looked like an awsome day 😊

[@lmm]

It was great!

[@SDE1994]

i spotted you in Ffestiniog's video on the Aberystwyth's new museum

[@laserhawk64]

Lo and behold, it CAN drive to and from an event without breaking down! :P A mention and a question, while I'm here... one, I'd love a Scammell as well, but not _that_ one ;3 I may be a Yank and bloody mental besides, but I want a Scarab... oh, and speaking of tarmac tripods, I'd love to see you in a Morgan Three-Wheeler, at some point... at speed, no less!

[@bentullett6068]

I think you need to bring Jupes to the Midlands at some point. I know Statfold have a emergency vehicles weekend in their calendar this year. Also where are Ransomes as a company they should bring some of their road legal council spec mowers on this run.

[@stephencrossley5417]

I loved every minute of the video

[@lmm]

Thank you!

Why dose the driver keep honking instead of using the siren?

Can't use the siren on the road

[@CaptainDonut0]

@@lmm you didn't use it on the event too but used lights.

@@CaptainDonut0 lights only used when the road was closed. Soon as it became public highway again they were isolated.

[@ashleywilson8033]

How old does a vehicle have to be to be classed as vintage?

[@lmm]

That varies massively. For this road run it's 30 years or older.
