Looks fantastic!! Will definitely get that in the diary! Fab!! Just wish there was something sooner!!? We are getting MV withdrawl :nut: I know the weathers grotty but that shouldn't stop events being planned Thanks for the heads up!! xxx

Oh my gosh it would be AMAZINGLY fun in this weather!!! do it!! We went to the pensthorpe vintage event a few weeks later [see pic!] and a few shindigs in Norwich but we are eagerly awaiting our next outing. I've just bought myself an iconic old london black cab to do up, shes a beauty!! we are doing a 'carry on cabby' "glamcabs" theme, just deciding where to go! Kate and I are now working in the Steam Sheds at Weybourne voluntarily too, getting to play with some SERIOUSLY big machines! We where cleaning down the B12 [the big green loco being used at the 40s event] and its great being able to climb all over it and see what makes her tick! amazing! Whats the next event you guys will be heading too? Would be great to all meet up again! Best wishes too all of you! and get the truck outside! I want to see pics in the snow!!!!! :-D

Brilliant Thread! Just spent FAR too long reading all the replies when I should definitely be asleep but everyone's so darn INTERESTING!! I write on here on behalf of 6 ladies that met some of you at the Sheringham 40s weekend but two of us work in the Steam loco sheds at the North Norfolk Railway [where the 40s weekend is held] because we LOVE big engineering Other than that, myself Im a flameworker and have my own glass melting studio just outside cromer, Kate works in the sheds with me [we only do every now and again though! not as much time to spare as we would like!] and also helps out on a local crab boat driving the beach tractors and ALSO works for the Norwich Festival, Lynne is a Deli Girl, Rachel works for the Mental Health Department, Smith is an estate agent [boooo! ] well, a 'Lettings Manager' and Chevvy is Head of Art at a high school A mixed bunch brought together with our love of vintage and vehicles! Like a mini version of you lot! Great to meet you all! xxx

Hi guys! wasn't sure where to post this but just wondering if anyone ever posted the vid of the great train race from Sheringham station to Holt from the North Norfolk Railway 40's weekend last year? I've forgotten the tag for the kind gent that let us all hop on the truck and join in? Had a peek on youtube but couldn't find it. We would all love to see it, you guys made it the most memorable event for us so far!! Hope you are all having a great new year and we look forward to hopefully seeing you guys at 2013s events!! xxxx:yay::dancing::dancing::dancing:

Some amazing and inspirational photos here! Thanks for posting them! We are going to have to start collecting some WAVE gear for our next 40s outing to represent such a fantastic division of the US Navy!

Hi all!! We where just wondering if any of you are planning on heading to the Pensthorpe vintage rally this weekend? [6th -7th October!] We are heading over on the Sunday and we wondered if we would bump into anyone from the holt/weyborne/sheringham event or get the chance to meet new people and see some more awesome machines HMVF member 'Tomwilliamsonuk' told us it is taking over from the ' Living History fair that took place at Mannington Hall the previous 2 years, so will hopefully be as good if not better! Heres the link too the event if anyone wants more info.... http://pensthorpe.com/events/2012/7/pensthorpes-1st-vintage-rally/ Hope too see you there!! :-D

Heya! If you are heading to east Anglia anyway don't forget to call in at the muckleborough collection! It's right next door to us and we love it! Here's the site; http://www.muckleburgh.co.uk/ Have a great time in our beautiful home! Xxx

Brilliant! Don't hesitate to give us a buzz on here if you are heading this way, it would be great to meet you! And as for the dungarees modeled by our wonderful Rachel, she got them from screwfix!! haha!! not very 40s but nice and practical xxx

You would be surprised how many of us we can fit in ANYTHING! here is one example... I can't believe there are no photos!! oh well, Im sure we will all bump into each other again so we will have to hear then! That was the nice thing about the evening of the sheringham event, it was outside a pub! hurrah! GREAT for chatting/storytelling! here is a link to our album from the 40s event when we where having a good look around all of the amazing beasts you HMVF brought along! We where even lucky enough to get a lift on the back of M5Clives machine to race the steam train on the way back! [bEST THING EVER!!!!] and I believe he even got a vid of it! looking forward to him adding it too youtube http://www.flickr.com/groups/vintage_vixens/

ooh, looks good but we have already said we will attend the Pensthorpe one which is on the same weekend! here's the link.... http://www.pensthorpe.com/events/2012/7/pensthorpes-1st-vintage-rally/ its only the first one so we want to go and support and encourage it in the hope it will get bigger and bigger each year I will let the others know about the Peterborough one though as we might be able to do one of the days for one and one for the other... fun! Thanks so much for letting us know! xxx:kiss:

We are DEFINITELY adding this too our bucket list! And with Muckleborough Collection 5 mins up the road from me hopefully we wont have long to wait! time I paid them a visit again I think......:-)

Fantastic!! well if you ever need a team of really willing and eager novices then please please give us a call! [especially me!! ] Really hope we get the chance to bump into each other at some event or other! Someone mentioned to us on here that a few of you are heading to the 1st Pensthorpe vintage rally this year, will you be coming along? Apparently its replacing the usual Mannington hall one? Would be great to see your mighty machines! We are all planning on heading over there to check soak up the atmosphere and see whats happening too! Maybe I should do an 'upcoming event' thing on here too see if anyones coming, am I allowed to do that? :undecided: xxx

Amazing! I bet you have some amazing stories! haha! Any pictures? Would love to hear about it! I had such an amazing time!

Hi Lauren! Thats a big YES from me Boy do I WISH I had one, ANY of them! Speaking for myself Claire "Shorts" Hack I have a passion for all things with engines as long as the are old and/or big. I've also flown helicopters a couple of times and overtaken a Wherry on the norfolk broads with the local Mississippi Steamer... which is apparently not the done thing I've been lucky enough to go and help out in the steam railway sheds as their wrench monkey too for the engines [mainly because I'm short so they can send me into where they used to send the 14year old boys when they where first invented] and for me 30th this year [eek] me and the girls are heading to go and drive the trains! I LOVE anything that drives,floats or flys Im sure the other girls feel the same, we're trying to decide wether to club together and get something...we quite liked this one.... it was pink and green too, apparently to blend in with the particular type of pinky rock over the landscape it would have been stationed in....? What do you have?

haha! ah, well we know who the historical rosie is, but no one told us their names at the day, apart from M5Clive saying he was 'M5Clive' we will have to make sure we get names at the next event
