Carmarthen truck show 2010

Post #1 by martyn williams » Mon Jul 05, 2010 11:49 am

Just a note to remind you that the truck show takes place at the Carmarthen show ground on the 11th July,starts at 10 am.
I will be there as there is usually a good plant section there as well.
So you get the best of both worlds.

Great photos Geraint. Thank you.
Looks as if it was a good turn out. I'm only sorry I could'nt make it this time.
Nice to see my friend Barry Cossletts gear. I liked the old Foden too.
Looks as if Davies cranes had a good turn out, I Hired a crane from them a couple of weeks ago. They are a good outfit.

Hello Fred and Renaultman.It was a good day out at the show with a good selection of trucks but not much plant this year.Barry's Chaseside and Cat looked good in the sun.We completed those machines last week by fitting the decals.The Chaseside looked very different from the day we first saw it.See photo,its a credit to Barry's staff for their hard work.

It was a good day except there was no vintage machinery except the two gems from Barry, there was a good collection last year, but with times the way they are, transport cost is a real killer. After the monster truck landed, he did a lap of honor and threw a con-rod out through the engine block. Fowler man, Davies had a great turnout I don't know where their new 250t Terex crane was but they did have their new Grove GMK4100L on display, they had six there all together. That 6x6 foden was a beast it had a winch on the back for forestry work.

Yes Geraint,that poor monster truck looked a bit sad.Great to see you there.Barry cut back this year due to cost as you say.

Considering the vast majority of the entries are working trucks, fair play to those who prepare them. I know several who are dedicated to keeping their working vehicles 100% presentable & they deserve recognition for it. Thanks for posting the pictures.
