We have tractor pulling at all the rally's I attend,and the noise and pollution puts me off going anywhere near.As for the photo above how can that ever be called a tractor? I have never been a train spotter,but have always been interested in watching and seeing any type of steam engine,either a railway or showmans type.
Girl spotting however,with me living near the coast,now that IS an interesting hobby

there are a few with male names, but not many,
 
and as for being "sad", triumph jon, the only sad persons are those who call us sad.....both I and my wife and daughters love spotting them when ever we travel.......just like ship spotting, it has an interesting thread to it......better than vegetating and doing sod all, as some people that only have one hobby seem to do if they can't do their own thing.
 
Please don't decry those that have a different view on life to your own, Triumphjon.....

Pollution? What pollution?

[catengineman]

Less smoke than some of the ships I've seen

Some of our dustcarts used to be like that first thing in the mornings... 

[sparkey]

  Bit like my attempt at braising,very smelly and lots of smoke,wife was not impressed few days in dog house,Ray.    

[Circlip]

Yes, as soon as the sun comes out it's the signal for some to go into the garden and start burning food.

Not all the lorries Stobart have are named after a woman, there are some men in there. As we have 100 lorries a day going out of our site at the moment perhaps I should start collecting them. I would then get paid for having a hobby, pop round the loading area during my tea break it would be easy

Many a member of the public named my sweeper when they were stuck behind it...


"f*&^%6" thing" was a favourite...

I think you may be wrong in your statement.
have a look at the official FAQ to name trucks and the rules that are applied.

      P&W...thought the Ya......Americans put Packard engines in them  ? Maybe it was Allisons...jezz I`m forgetting a lot these days.

[Netleyned]

Coming back from a good afternoon at the lake, I
met a Stobart coming the other way off to Fresco with a
delivery.
She/He was called Betty
Wonder if Frank named it?

sorry, but incorrect and not always two names needed, catengineman. you can actually go onto the Eddie Stobart members forum ( have to be a member) and there is a complete list of the names of all the trucks to see, including one named and male named trucks.
 
we actually spotted on our way to Scotland two weeks ago one of the TV trucks "Autumn Adelaide"
She and driver were at the Truckfest in Edinburgh a week later but we had things planned and couldn't get there unfortunately.
neil.

[Neil]

just some of the one named trucks we have seen are:  Gail, Aimee, Michelle, Anita and Helena but as yet,
 
no male names to the collection......... but even got an E/S truck with the name Eddie Stobart L7402 on her, and without the green and red livery, but with no other name.......
 
so sorry to shoot down the Faq's catengineman, but they do exist out there.
