Tanks, Trucks & Firepower: 27th-29th August

Post by ChrisClemson » Fri May 27, 2016 11:11 pm

Hi everyone,

We've got tickets to this one http://tankstrucksandfirepower.co.uk/.
We meant to go last year, but were too busy.
This year we're going and have received the tickets already.
LMK if any of you are going.

Hi I'm hoping to go for one day, the truck is parked in Coventry so wont use too much gas to get there!
Expecting a baby in August though so all events may be cancelled for me!

Hi everyone,

It was a good show.
Ian was there with his newly registered ZIL 131, Chris came with his Landrover, and Voicjek with his GAZ 69.
There weren't many military stalls, but that was good as I forgot to bring any money!
There were quite a few model and toy car stalls, and a lot of charities there though.
It was nice to see some other makes and models I'd not seen before, including a scary Tactica (for sale at £11k), although it had road tires on and wasn't very effective in the arena after the rain!
The weather was nice (most of the time), the fireworks were good, and the people were pretty friendly.
There was also a rather excessive gritter, although it answers the age old question "how does the gritter man get to work?". The answer in this is case is that the gritter is his home...

I think someone else took some photos of our camp. If they could upload them too, that would be cool :)
