I agree. There are some on here that are far too quick to slap others down. It says more about them than those they slap down.  :(

It should also be mentioned that there are a number of steam engine enthusiasts and caravan owners on here, so why not Stobart spotters? Each to his own, I say. :y

And I do have a sneaking admiration for the Stobart setup myself. A good example of how to run a business. :y

Many people would think it sad that a group of grown men stand around in a car park staring under the bonnets of each others Vauxhall Omegas, but we do it. ;) :D ;D

agreed! us OOFers aren't exactly the height of cool are we!!  ;D

to answer your question mate............. i'm not the sort that would keep a log of the trucks i see but it's surprising how keen you get to rush up to an eddie on the motorway to see the name.  ;D

still dont get why they made one with the name valentino (i think). maybe you can enlighten us?  :y

Wholeheartedly agree, Albs.

Why is it necessary to pick on people (especially newbies) merely because they have an interest and want to see if others share the same. "family guy" merely asked if others share his hobby. If you don't, then don't post. Simples.  :y

P.S. To "family guy" Welcome to the forum, mate! Some of us on here are really rather nice!  :y :y ;)

Valentino Rossi

BTW where are Stobart spotters on the spotting hierarchy?

Top appear to be military aircraft spotters, followed very closely by train spotters, and bus spotters near the bottom.

Yes I have met all 3 types!
