I've noticed there are very few of the bigger British trucks turning up at shows nowadays.
At Kemble there were only four 6x6s, two AECs and two Scammells.
Beltring wasn't much better, 400 Jeeps, 400 Land Rovers, 3 6x6 AECs, 4 6x6 Fodens and a few Scammells.
It's probably the fuel cost that's causing it, it's getting close to £1 a mile for me now.
Tanks usually get appearance money, so do steamers. I think it's about time the bigger trucks did as well.
I don't expect someone to fund my hobby for me, but faced with putting £100 worth of diesel in the Militant or £15 worth of LPG in the Land Rover it's tempting to take the cheaper option.
Which one makes a better show ?
