Hi Swishy and AW

I can see your point for a public show, but that isn't what this was.

It was a private show organised by a private guy (Boof Wedding, a transport contractor) on his own land and attendance was by invitation only. He provided free beer, free food and a fantastic show of fantastic trucks. I don't really think he had any obligation to provide us truckies who had the honour of getting invited with merry-go-rounds as well.

Most of the trucks were going to be there for the full time, but quite a number (although a small percentage) are still working trucks and the owners probably couldn't afford to have them off the road for 3 days so some were there for Sat and Sun, or Sun and Mon or maybe only for one of the days. Better than not being there at all I think.

Cheers, Vic

A few more from Boof Wedding's show this weekend. Although I have only posted photos of a few of the trucks. you Aussies might have noticed one big difference between the ones here and the ones on your side of the ditch. There is a complete absence of B model Macks :'( :'( :'(

They were never imported into NZ although there is one in Bill Richardson's museum; I think we make up for it (well maybe ) with the large number of R190 etc Internationals.

Great photos Vic, looks like there are some great old trucks hanging around the North Island. You may not have got B model Macks but did get Inters we didnt get out here. eg The Fleetstar, Paystar and that modern day cabover 9800.

Excellent pics Vic,I think you`d be pretty safe to assume that none of get sick of looking at pictures mate.Is that F model in the Mack photo the restored first Mack in NZ?

Hi Cam

It was the first Mack built in NZ and was restored by the apprentices at Truck Stops/Motor Truck Distributors. They did a great job of it, too.

I hope you noticed I put a few White photos there for you!

Stupendous stuff, Vic! Almost fell off my chair when I saw the Hayes. Wow. Bloody nice LAD Comet (?) too. You guys have a great selection of LAD and Ergo-cabbed Leylands.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
