T corbin Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I plan to book the ALBION CX22 in for NORMANDY 2009 . It went 30 years ago on its first trip . And will be 65 years old For the next trip. I think the truck and myself can then retire from any more long journeys . ( Might be some room if anybody interested) .All subject to ferry prices TONY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooTallMike Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Tony, I assume you mean the IMPS trip? I've booked the WLF in so it's good to know I won't be the only heavy truck there. - Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooTallMike Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Ferry prices weren't too bad in 2004. (You can contact Britannia Ferries (?) to get the current prices & extrapolate a bit for 3 years hence) In 2004 we booked our own crossing from Portsmouth-Ouistreham as we didn't fancy the 80-mile road run to and from LeHavre. The crossing was also cheaper. This time, everyone will be booked on this route! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 If you are an MVT member you can get a deal on Brittany Ferries, you book with the ferry co. then let the MVT guy know and he arranges the discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raschippo Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I may be up for that with my Hippo. Is the hippo in the pic Preston's one from cobatton? It will all depend if we are in africa or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I've always preferred the american vehicles, but when I get to see pictures of trucks like that, and some other on this forum. I gotta admit I like them!!! I've also been playing with the thought of going to Normandy, perhaps 2009 will be my year as well??? Good luck with your nice truck!

T corbin Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 The picture was taken in NORMANDY in 1974 .The HIPPO was 1 of 3 vehicles .The other where ALBION SCAMMELL .All from DUXFORD The HIPPO & ALBION are still their but the SCAMMELL lives in ESSEX . All big & slow for early shows & tours . But the best tour we have been on TONY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
