other dog Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Anybody planning on going? I think I might go this year, since they changed the date of the Lincolnton, N.C. show. It's September 26-28.

MHfred Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I plan on being there with my MH (first show) if the weather cooperates. Every time I make plans to go to a show I have wet roads. EDIT: Maybe this year we can get 40+ cabovers. Last year we had 36 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfesting Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'm a pretty strong maybe; have never been before. I'd be taking my daily driver there. I have never been to this show - I would likely be tent camping. Anyone know how that scene is? I have another obligation up there (near Harrisonburg) the weekend before, so I'll have to see how it all works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been since '06, maybe '07, because i'd go to Lincolnton,N.C.in summer, and Colfax, N.C. in November. This year they moved Lincolnton to September also, so i'm going to check out Winchester again. It was a good show last time I was there, and a lot more trucks than at Lincolnton i'd say.here's some pictures I took in '06-http://www.thedieselgypsy.com/Tom%20Blackwell-truck%20show.htm Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

farmer52 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 That is the weekend before Gerhart's show. I marked my calendar but I will say a "definite maybe". Need to be in several different places that weekend. Depends on the weather forecast and Mrs. Farmer. About 2-1/2 hours from the PA to Winchester. Decisions, decisions.BTW, nice pics of nice trucks!

There is plenty of room for camping but you would not have power nor water at your site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryS Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 It's a great show I've been every year and it gets bigger and bigger. They reported around 300 trucks last year. I'm trying to get the B Model ready. One item that needs attention is the wipers, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they charge to use the facilities? I see there is a $30 fee for camping (self contained).Going to Farm Science Review in London, OH on Tuesday (17) and Wednesday (18).

farmer52 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Where is everyone? MHfred is here but have not seen any other BMT members. The weather was great on Thursday and forecast is for more nice weather on Friday and Saturday. Lots of interesting trucks (Macks and non-Macks) here already. Word is lots more will show up today. Never saw so many Dodge trucks in one spot. Fred and I will be taking pictures today and Saturday.

other dog Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 I've been trying to get this stupid computer (freightrain) to work ever since I got home! I took two hunnert and fitty some pictures, and haven't been able to process them yet! It was working fine Friday, really fast, no problems at all, shut it down when I left and haven't been able to get it to work right since I got home, everything I try to do it says "...not responding". I'm surprised I even got on here now, i've restarted it umpteen times with the same results. Maybe it'll go back to working like by magic or something now, I don't know. I'll have some pictures on ASAP. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post other dog Posted September 30, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2013 Here's a couple I saved so far- nice looking B model here, though there were several others too.Best ass of show- couldn't decide if it was this one-...or this one.Another "motley crew" photo...stupid mustard stain. Old Bill (The Diesel Gypsy) sent me that genuine Australian hat last year. I've never even worn it before, keep it in the corner cabinet, but when he sent it he said he wanted a picture of me wearing it at a truck show, so I wore it to Winchester.I think I got the biggest belly trophy too, they just haven't mailed it to me yet.L. to R, some fat dude, MHFred, fxfymn, farmer52, paccarnut. 5 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
