Golden Oldies Truck Show Dubbo 9th August 2014

Great photos Angleiron .... I see 2 there that get me excited

One is all spooky and the other was always flammin empty

Have to agree it is the best show I have attended and some other events need to get some of that atmosphere bottled as it was gold. Thank you all so much for the unreal hospitality shown to all.

I heard an unofficial count of 330 TRUCKS on the ground plus those that did not get unloaded and at a guess there would be at least another 40-50 so around the 370 marks would make this on of the best supported events.

We will be back again.

I'm definitely regretting not being able to get along, every one has told me what a brilliant weekend it was. Well done to the organisers and thanks to all for the piccy's

Hi guys.

I will pass on the thanks to all that were involved to make the show what it was.

Without the entrants, you guys that attended with a vehicle, the show would not be what it was. So a BIG thank you goes out to you lot too. Could not have done it without the support of the people who love the "old" trucks and like driving the old bangers for a weekend trip away..

Thanks to those who arrived early to go on the Friday run. It was not going to be all regimented and time based, just a leisurely drive with a couple of BS stops with lunch sometime. Seemed to work???? I have taken photos but yet to post :-[ What did you lot think of the Gallery???? Not what a lot would have expected Also thanks to the guys that let the kids jump in their truck for a "look".

As SloSpeed said there were just over 300 trucks on the ground and a few were still left on trailers, so 350-370 ish??? and approx 3000 people through the gate. Looks as though the one day event might have worked Had a couple of people on Sunday looking for the truck show! (Advertised as one day only)

Over for another year and looking forward to 2016. "We" have the showground booked for the same weekend in 2016 so start getting ready! I will keep you posted with dates as it gets a little closer.


Thanks for the count down Swishy. Good job as always. There was a truckies road map as a "raffle prize" at the dinner, you could have won, so you could have made it home


Thanks again and hope you all had a good weekend.

Jon

I'm really disappointed that I couldn't make it to a great event.

Thanks to everyone that attended, posted piccys and to everyone involved in organising the event.

I look forward to seeing you all at Yarra Glen in November.

Great day as a spectator only this year. Good to see a few faces & to meet you slospeed. Great turn out of goodies. Dave

just want to add my appreciation to Brian & Jon on a GREAT show.
met up with a lot of old mates,missed out on a few that apparently dodged me,haha,but the quantity and quality of the gadgets on display was outstanding!!
this show with its venue,exhibitors,organisers and often forgotten volunteer helpers has set the benchmark....well done!!!!

Fridays Road run

This was an added bonus for the early arrivals Jon had organised a nice little 70 km run

It was a little cold overnight

We first headed out towards Wellington

(flat out and still couldn't hit the 60kph roadwork speed limit)

To a place called Wongarbon to visit a Gallery www.garlinggallery.com.au/ after we had finished at the gallery the school next door allowed the children out for a look at the trucks.

Next we headed for lunch out across some nice winding back roads

To the pub at Ballimore. A special thanks must go to the staff at the pub they did a fantastic job in getting us all feed and if your in the area a good place to get a bit to eat and a few cold ones.

After the meal it was a nice 30k drive back into Dubbo were some of the big boyz got to stretch their legs a bit.

Thankyou Jon for organising this great little run.
