Andrew wants one  (Can you imagine the shipping charges?)
All that engine and only 35 seconds of video?
Hope there is more  |
Which engine, I have posted a few. |
Yours, Les
Just edited it to make that clear. The thread was moving fast while I was showing Andrew the video. |
Thankyou, we try and keep her at her best. Plenty of Brasso and furniture polish with copious amounts of elbow grease.
I had more fun driving her that I forgot to do much filming so that is the only video of her, and just get Andrew to start saving his pocket money.

With spectacular results. Love the deep blue and the way it contrast with the brass banding.
I can understand your reasons , but next time you're out it would be great to see some video of it in motion.
If you're prepared to say what kind of investment is involved, PM me sometime, so I can be sure to buy Andrew a big enough Piggy Bank

It was chucking it down when this was taken.

It was very enjoyable in between the rain and the mud, it just went too quick.

No, they are neither, they are all hand made replicas' of a full sized fairground.

Looks like a lot of fun. Loved the pictures of the Showman's at night.

Thankyou and yes, a good time was had by all.
The Pride of the South is being towed by a tractor, only because the area of ground that they all had to drive through was muddy and there was no grip.
She was one of several being towed that weekend simply because of the amount of rain over the past week.
