Default Truckfest Souith West pics

Awesome day out, massive show with some top trucks, cant beleive the qaulity of some of these machines, put some concourse rs to shame.

oh and seen a black rs500 driving through the middle of it, anyone on here??

i aint been to one for 12years and im glad i did, main areana was good with monster trucks, bike stunts a recovery show and various parade laps.

only thing i hate about these shows are the price of food etc

Ł2.25 each for a ice lolly and burgers etc Ł3.00 fookin rip offs

ice cream vans were dead, cos of there prices, shot themselves in the foot there cos it was hot hot hot

those trucks look excellent and i bet some if not most are like concourse condition. my god how long must that take to prep them for a show!!

oh, and without sounding sad or anything, but i noticed a new eddie stowbart truck on a12 the other day and theyve changed their livery to just green and white kinda now, not hte old green and red etc. doesnt look as good now imo lol
