do you have any more old videos or photos of torbay in the 90s. I would love to see torbay before they built the two way road at dartmough road by the bus station when it was 1 way. I'd also love to see any old video clips of torbay road from early 90s.
Yes pretty scary moment I suspect. The center truck was always far too heavy for the 8 Wheerler which only had a Gardner 120 engine! Shame though as these where real fairground loads which seem to have all but dissapeared now with Artics and tri axle trailers!!
@britdemo - there is a lot of weight on this lorry and the heavy 6 wheel centre truck does not help. I dont think today you would get this passed on a weighbridge!!
wow that was some going! fantastic looking load,this must have been a good while ago i think i saw this load at dingles last year,fantastic waltzer,id love to have walked it

Yes the 1960's & 70s were a great time to watch the fair arriving.
I try to collect travelling fairground model transport based on that era,
I have a short clip of them on youtube, but my video has made them look
a bit stumpy.

Im pretty sure I have the DVD to this.
I bet the driver's heart stopped hoping the
breaks would hold out.
