haybaggerman Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Our driver came back past Dorchester yesterday and said there were tanks on low loaders and jeeps everywhere. Sounds like something is going on, this could be the big push!! Hope to put a few faces to names tomorrow. Good luck at the carnival you lucky buggers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exocet R.I.P. Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Well!What a day!I am still stunned by the sights today.Looking over my shoulder in the Dingo and seein all that armour stretched out behind me. The sight of 57 ww2 vehicles in Dorchester Carnival with crowds up to 5 deep in places giving a really rousing reception. Jack smoking,eating and whistling his way through300 cigarettes in 3 hours.Kevin keeping the covoy together in great style.The d.r's all doing a marvellous job of keeping us clear at junctions. My final thrill was being overtaken on a dual carriageway at 40 mph+ by The Hellcat.That rascal moves! For all of us there a stonking day and for those who weren't i'm sure photos will follow. So no pressure but when's the next one please? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exocet R.I.P. Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 well from yesterday,what a fantastic day.For those who were there it's memories to the grave stuff.For those who weren't,please excuse indulgencies as you are going to hear shedloads about this event in the next few weeks. Just imagine being in a Dingo and looking behind to see another and then a carrier followed by a few tanks and then a long line of mobile green. When we stopped at Martinstown we took the length of the village and double parked. For Dorch carnival my Mum counted 57 ww2 vehicles in the convoy!That was special. One last memory for now was coming out of Dorch on a quiet dual carriageway with a Dodge and the other Dingo at about 45 mph and being OVERTAKEN by the Hellcat.Blimey!!!! Medical science has proved that Jack can smoke eat and whistle 300 cigarettes in 3 hours and Kev is the Master of convoys. Exocet out for now.

N.O.S. Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I think that was Grasshopper, Mark. Jack might have been out of sight working the pedals though... And judging by the passengers little work was done this weekend on the Federal and Autocar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
