Light Commercial gathering at Gaydon Heritage Museum

Postby Fred Dukes » Mon Aug 11, 2014 8:44 pm

Took the opportunity to show off my newly aquired Ute on Sunday. Weather was not forecast to be good but thought if it was ok when I was about to start I would go - which I did :roll:
5 minutes down the road and it started to rain - and rain - and rain - all the flipin way :shock:
It was so wet there was as much water coming up off the road as there was coming down from the heavens.
Anyway I now know that I need a new screen rubber :lol: 2/3rds the way there I had to stop and take the bung out the footwell on the drivers side before the water came over my shoes :oops:
Parked up alongside Peter with his van and in front of a chevan - a rare beast :!:
Joined later by Jon Myrtle with his Elictical contractor Van

Having been round the museum a few times and had a cup of coffee the rain eventually stopped and we could get out in the fresh air :P
Mike Stanley was showing his van on the BT stand but did draw alongside the rest of us later to make a 4sum of HA commercials

Also there was the Hearse Register which wa sall a bit grissly - I kept my distance not wanting to tempt fate at my age :lol: Thought - could the HC estate make a reasonable hearse :roll:
Saw a nice CF 250 Bedford camper with a very nice slant 4 tucked in the front - one for you Simon (of Crewe)

At least it was dry to come home - all I need to do now is dry the cab out and fix the exhaust system - thats the 2nd exhoust system I have holed in the last 5 days :imsmiling:
Knocking the miles on now Steve :P

There is a photo somewhere of what looks like a HC made into a Hearse, see if I can find it.
