the showman

It was only a drive round the park, and a big thank-you to Steve for trusting me with it, somehow I don't think Steve would part with it !!

Oh, Iam going to be watching this, will be a nice conversion, are you doing a shaft-drive ?

Just whisper Ian

gonads

Nice collection Neil, give my regards to Mike

Watch you don't trip over then mate,

I know nothing about these walk behind machines, but arnt the tyres on back to front?? you can tell me to stick to Wheelhorse's if you want

I see you have blocks under the seat, are you going to put blocks on the pedals ? so can reach them with your little legs,

seems I was the only one to come home with less than I went with very unusual for me

Great work Mark

I'll stick with Shak'n Horse at the moment, at least mine has a clutch, brake and a throttle

That's looks heavy Nigel, will look nice hanging on the back, even the right colour

Yeh, I didn't notice him until after I took the photo, been walking past him all day !!

here you go

As my van was still loaded from our trip up North, I went along to Parham Park for the day with the Wheelhorse's. It was a dry day with a few steamers and stationary engines, very laid back and plenty of chat and coffee. Photos in a min, when I get them off the camera.

Now I see where you got your name

Now iam home back in the south, I can watch the video's, any chance someone could put sub-titles on it so us southern boys can understand the lingo.

V8 would sound nice Ian

what I did, when I wanted the early ones, I ordered them from a toro dealer then when I got them I matched them up from a bearing shop

there be 1" 1/8 shafts Norm, I only had the early 1" seals in stock

Today Pam and I went to Heartbeat country and finished up at Whitby for Fish and Chips, yum yum, here's the pickys more photos

Here's some more pickys

We had a little run out yesterday, the girls wanted to see the Dales and Moors and we found a waterfall, today we went playing with Steam trains with Paul and Wendy.

Heres a couple of photos of stuff that took my fancy

Were having a great time in the North. The show was well set out and bigger than I expected, thanks to Marks Mum and Dad for the tea when we arrived. Saturday was a bit damp but Sunday was ok, I managed to buy some parts in the auto jumble and sell a few bits and bobs. Nice to meet everyone that I chat with in the shout box, and to sum- up us Southern Boys and Girls have had a great week and thanks to everyone. We will be back next year and will look forward to 2015, Mr and Mrs Showman, (Chris and Pam to all our friends)
