Deere-est Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Well folks, another lead to take up is the possibility of a tour at the Simba factory ( http://www.simba.co.uk/ ) . The Simba works is located in Sleaford, Lincs which is 45mins from Spalding. With that in mind, Monday the 4th of April is on the cards but I need numbers. The tour would be about an hour long, focused mainly on the assembly line and the units awaiting despatch from the plant. So, who is interested and more importantly who will come on the day given the chance? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
