Lastability from Finning and the Link Club

Post #1 by Peter Haddock » Wed Oct 06, 2010 6:11 pm

Hi all this is my first time on the forum. I have been working on www.lastability.com for Finning and wanted to say how pleased I was that the Link Club have joined the site (Old Caterpillar Vintage tractor club). We are now doing stories on members machines and helping to promote their flickr page.

The link to the site is www.lastability.com/linkclub

Hello Peter
Great to see you on this site,I gave you a plug on CMN a few weeks back . You have a few photos of my machines on Lastabillity.
I am involved with the Link club formally Chapter 2 ACMOC for 15 years now.I organised our AGM at Finning Llantrisant a few years back.Been trying to send photos to you for Lastabillity with not much luck, so sent a few via Paul tofield and David Wills.
Some photos of members machines.Will be glad to supply you with photos.Keep up the good work
Martyn

B100 - Think that is a great idea we will look at seeing if we can put a link to CMN on lastability I am really pleased to see so many people on this forum that want to promote Caterpillar equipment. on a big learning curve for all the classic stuff but it is lastability at work in a massive way

That photo of my mates D8 , I sat on that very machine for my dad to take a photo of me in 1963.It was used to level sand dunes for the construction of a caravan park.
This is a great hobby that brings together people of the same interest. It also protects out heritage in keeping these machines going for everyone to see.It is also important to keep the hobby going in the form of getting younger people interested in machinery.
I took a few of my machines to an event in Pontypridd recently,I was amazed by how the young kids are still interested in diggers,when they have been brought up on computer games.
