  16. yes i am sure Cerin would enjoy it if he had the opportunity, as for souveniers, i bought a claas arion 640 (UH 1:32) a claas xerion polo shirt, and picked up a few claas lanyards which had vistor notepads on which were free, claas also gave us a 1:32 model but the tutors kept them so they didnt get damaged and we will get them next week at college, we got given a cap from mitshubishi forklift trucks and a pen from Koop van der Val

  18. cheers lads, thought you boys (and girls) would like to see them, i had a brilliant time, and seein as the drinking age is 16, well i neednt say much more
  19. that afternoon we visited Amsterdam and well i didnt take any pictures there, also im sorry about the quality about some of the above pictures but we were being rushed around because we were split into 2 groups and we had his son who wanted to stay in the lead
  20. this is his parts warehouse, you could literally walk in here and build a tractor theres that many parts
  21. the third day we visited the Cruiqus Museum, which is a large steam engined pump (now ran by hydraulics) which was used to pump water out of the "polders" in holland, i didnt take any pictures there as it was a bit cramped and not much room to take any decent ones. also that day we we visited the catapillar and mitshubishi forklift trucks factory where they are made for the uk and europe, there a several other factories placed around the world producing the same forklifts. we werent aloud to take pictures in the factory but we were in the final test area. our final visit was to a tractor export specialist called Koop van der Val, i was extremely impressed with his set up, they deffinately have there heads screwed on. they buy 100 tractors a year from the uk and sell them over europe, so therefore have 100 uk hitches a year to sell as the use a different system on the contenant. they also repair as much as they can while keeping the tractor in an origional state as the buyer wants a genuine second hand machine
