Now I can report on my recent visit to Finning Cat's Headquarters at Cannock.
I was very kindly invited to visit by our fellow member here Stuart (SRB) Bickley, and I must offer a MASSIVE thank you to Stuart for providing both myself and CMN member Tonermz250 with such wonderful hospitality on the day

I also took the oportunity to have a look at some used 314 excavators and some new 312's & 314's, I have to say I was very impressed with the Cat excavators and would love to have one on demo at somepoint so I could really put it to work
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
One of the highlights of the day was when Stuart fired up an ex Stokey plant D10T, "What a Beast" !!
After our exstensive tour of the Cannock facility Stuart drove us up to the Winsford depot so I could view some more used 314's.
We were treated to lunch at the Winsford depot before taking a look around the used stock, on our return journey to Cannock Stuart took us back past the JCB factory which was a very impressive sight to see
