Being springtime in Melbourne, we've had a lot of rain. This sometimes leads to washed out shows. However the historic commercial vehicle show did happen this year but was vastly down in numbers because of the weather.
We loaded up Harry on the trailer, and took Roger to his first one, and set off early Sunday morning for Yarra Valley.
A Ford ute I spotted en route. They did not come with us.

We got there early, as we had display vehicles. And Harry refused to move. Somehow one wheel is locked in position and we could not get him off the trailer. Very sad. So we left him and brought Roger in as other vehicles started arriving.
There was a lot of water everywhere so a lot of tactical parking was happening.
This Purple Petrol Eater won I think best in show. Faaaabulous colour!
Yo, I heard you liked trucks so I put a truck on your truck.
They were celebrating Bedford trucks this year, and lots of Bedfords came along.
Interestingly there were also two Bedford camper vans!
What a commitment, to privately own a bus. You need a heck of a lot of room to store one.
My favourite buses were there, the Flxibles!
Chryslers really don't seem to have any shared design language to them.
Still more Chryslers, along with the occasional Dodge.
One for @KiwiEV an EV Chrysler! I like seeing more classics being converted.
That beautifully restored wagon was there as well, the one I saw only a few weeks ago.
Yo, I heard you liked trucks so I put two trucks on your truck.
This blue and red truck has won best in show previously. It's a stunner.
Poor Harry, first time he's been left on the trailer at a show.
The great thing about this show is all classics are welcome.
The SES put on a demonstration, showing how they remove a driver from a vehicle post crash. It was an excellent display.
