T Minus And Counting

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Here's a dinky little thing (new make too I think)

This is what happens when tractors turn bad;

[oneeye]

weeks to go

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

And here's one for you Bathimp as I know you like your cantilevered canopies;

Off to Bestival in the morning so that's it from me as far as input goes for a while.

[Bathimp]

Here is a view from the other side in the sun. Those shade canopies are essential.

Enjoy Bestival Yoghurt. That nearly became my Glasto Alternative but I will have to make do with the Pilton Party. Make sure you catch New Order!

We will keep the tractor wheels rolling until you come back.

Yet another Massey Ferguson with a cantilever shade canopy thing.

But more importantly one month until ticket day...............

I'll need to take a double dose of blood pressure tablets on T day.

Last T day we had no luck, not even a booking page, and we tried from the opening of the sale, until it was sold out. However we didn't know about refreshing and just stayed in the queue that isn't a queue, like numpties.

Just hoping that repeated banging of F5 will bear fruit.

Good luck to everyone else (once I've got my ticket).

Thanks for the magnificent agricultural machinery Bathimp and Yoghurt. Enjoy your commentaries too.

One month to go to ticket day eh;

Sums up how I feel; relax, I will get a ticket

[Bathimp]

Not quite worked out whats going on here. The roof cantilever thing looks a bit DIY and its been pasted in front of a thatched cottage. But Heh. Its a Massey Ferguson so who cares!

Paparazzi pics of tractors, balers and combines at Pilton to follow.

[oneeye]

Tend to agree with you Bathimp; waiting in anticipation for the Pilton pics

In the meantime here are four naked beauties (not sure what's lurking in the background)

This is a Ford 289N before it was rescued;

and after........

Persoanlly I would have gone for a striking red colour; good job though

And a loaded JD for good measure.....

This time in 4 weeks we can all relax (hopefully); good luck everyone

[Bathimp]

Had to settle for the mini JD as well today.

Thats a great restoration on the Ford oneeye. Shame they stopped at the undercoat as you say.

Working on the pap photos now.

[Bathimp]

This was a tough one. Had to settle for a front grille and not even on the tractor.

Plenty of buxom alpine photos of the Steyr 288 on flickr though.

[Bathimp]

And here are some of the site photos from Friday night.

Hay baling at the Other Stage.

A view of the beautiful valley from between the Stone Circle and The Park.

Arty one of a combine in the West car parks.

Finally a mighty Massey waiting to be loaded.

[oneeye]

Fantastic photos Bathimp; bought a smile to my face on this gloomy monday morning, makes me want to be there!

Like you, struggled to find an interesting model today; had to settle for another JD I'm afraid......

Tractors still a bit thin on the ground so here is a front end loader attachment.

[Bathimp]

Back in business with a bit of Turkish delight. Good old Massey Ferguson.

[Bathimp]

Really like the skinny canopy on this one.

This is my Ticket Day therapy and I am practicing my persistence.

Same model but chilled

I'm finally back from Bestival - kind of went awol for 2 days after the fest and can only now declare myself sane again. Here's a Leyland doing a wheelie

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

The number 284 bus to Grove Park Cemetery - for those who want to make their way there via public transport!

And a 1983 International Harvester 284 Tractor

Good to see you back Yoighurt. I hope you enjoyed New Order. Have a look at my photos from Pilton last Friday.
