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!
There were a lot of International trucks there as well.
The Vauxhall club came along as well. Including this wonderful 100 year old example.
Wandered back to Roger to find he'd found a parking buddy.
More Bedford trucks!
It kept lightly raining on and off during the day, so the sky keeps changing in these shots.
This is a commercial vehicle show, and that also means buses!

This is wild, who would buy an old bus and put it on club plates?
