I would definitely make a journey from Scotland to see these trucks and rides. Simply amazing to see such care and attention that have went into them

Great family rate down to erf, .honist, woth.millions, thede.showmen, ya.wunt.fink.it but.thee.arr. hmm,

I love Carters fun fairs. Life would not be the same without the traditional local fair arriving. I appreciate the hard seasonal slog they do. Always welcome to my home town Coventry. Come on bring your Victory Dive Bomber back, much missed.

Brilliant could watch this all day long.

As a kid I used to!

Best star family and an amazing night sky in Bath I remembered thinking I wish my heart attack was that day. In the quest to die happy I'm glad the Carter's still are the family they are.

awesome old lorries!!! love the sound of a gardner

This fleet seems to be beautifully maintained , hats off! Perhaps I should ask if they could use a driver. I'd pay to drive one of the Atkinsons. Keep it up! Cheers

Carl, you should ask Joby Carter if he could use your services, as he is having to do a double run from Hersham to Maldon due to a shortage of drivers May 2022.

Amazing driving getting through that entrance!

The English man has great taste wen it coms to showmans lorries. Always wel painted up and mantained. Nice plant carters

C super de voir des vieux manège

Great stuff, Thanks

@ peter piper these rides are vintage so you can't rush them just like you cant rush a restoration on a Ferrari 250 GTO where as thurstons are modern rides just in case you didn't realise this

Thurston's used to have all the old big rides, all pulled (well mostly) by Diamond T's ! What an awesome sight that was, oh and the noise of their engines, truly fabulous sound!

Great bit of driving around the 37:30 mark, coming into the grounds :) The driver of KPK 744K did an excellent job. I wonder how it was getting out of the grounds? It's a very hard, tough job , not short of it's stresses and strains.

I think they are just rubber. They help just enough to stop the heave tires sinking 10 inches in to the soft earth.

Not sure what the law for those folk is. They are special licence under 'Showmans Giuld Licence'. I remember going through London in a double trailer plus traction unit measuring over a hundred feet. Extra exceptions may be made for vehicles with special adaptions such as hand steering on the rear of the third trailer to allow tight turns to be turned in to. Routes are often planned out with traffic departments before setting off. So as Showmen they get a bit of a wider allowance than than normal. But if some one wanted to move a two hundred footer with 150 wheels they could get a licence. It is all about getting approval and letting control departments know before hand. So Police can divert or escort abnomal loads and use local knowledge to plan the best route.
