Our Daf XF106 Project
The lorry build project commenced with the thorough process of viewing, purchasing, and collecting the lorry. Once acquired, the vehicle underwent a comprehensive servicing, addressing all fluids and filters, meticulously checked over by our skilled fitter.
Following the initial preparations, the project moved to the modification phase. Various adjustments were made, including the installation of sliding generator mounts, relocation of air lines, ABS, and light sockets. The rear tow bar underwent modifications to enhance its capability for transporting a broader range of rides, coupled with the addition of a Dutch-style rear light board.
The truck then entered the bespoke paint job stage. This involved an intricate process, starting with sandblasting the chassis and wheels, followed by the removal and painting of individual panels and parts, ensuring a customized and polished finish.
Further enhancements were incorporated into the design, including additional driving and spot lights, along with strategically placed light bars on the roof and bumper. The project also involved fitting air horns, side skirts, and chequer plate infills in the chassis, adding both aesthetic appeal and functional features.
With meticulous attention to detail and a series of carefully executed stages, the lorry build project transformed a standard vehicle into a customized, fully-equipped powerhouse ready for a diverse range of uses.
The New Carousel
Welcoming our newest addition to the fleet—the children's carousel! You might notice it looks a bit like its older sibling in colour and style, prompting the question, "Did they just hit copy-paste?" But fear not, we still have the old one, and together they'll tag-team between wristband events, carnivals, fetes, and private hires, ensuring double the fun.

Now, let's talk upgrades! This vibrant carousel boasts additional road and travel lighting, ensuring it's not just a star at the event but also on the journey there. The new carousel now featuring rear fog and reverse lights—because even carousels need to be road-safe fashionistas. Speaking of safety, we've added a bigger bottom step for little ones to get onto and off of the ride easier. The new 'magic eye' kit guarantees the ride stops in the same spot it started, saving us from a carousel that thinks it's a wanderer. We have also had a few small additions such as a different style air horn, and chequer plate around the bottom of the centre to stop shoe scuff marks on the artwork!
Dive into the details, and you'll find delightful variations in the carousel's toys, injecting an extra dose of excitement for the kiddos. We've sprinkled in some minor colour changes for a fresh look, and the speakers have gotten an upgrade, so every ride is a symphony of joy. And let's not forget the artistic touches! Different characters now grace the new ride, adding an extra layer of enchantment for our young riders.
So, buckle up because this carousel duo is ready to spin its way into the hearts of kids and adults alike, bringing laughter and enchantment to every event! We are yet to have it set up at an event, so watch this space for updates!
