I`m back

Post #1 by Hammer man » Tue Jun 23, 2009 8:54 pm

Hi to all.Back from our lovely holiday to Sharm,Egypt.Nothing but sun & temps of +40 :D .Got a great tan.Will defo go back there.
Only saw 5 pieces of plant while on coaches & could`nt get any decent pics.Saw 2 Cat 245`s,looked well tired,every panel or door was missing,extra cooling i would think.2 well tired Cat 966 E`s,& a very nice customised Cat 950 E.That was all i saw.
Back in my favorite quarry in Somerset so will try to get some pics of their Ackerman,A Barford dumptruck,O&K ADT,& a few more older machines.Still got the Volvo EC460 with my hammer off my ZX350.They have finally traced my hydraulic probs to the Engine Speed Sensor.A new one is on order,so after nearly 2 mths in the yard,i may have my 350 back soon.
Cheers for now,Neil. :)

Well I must say that if I didn't have a holiday booked and in the pipeline I would just go nuts !! :dizzy:

We only get one shot at this life so in my opinion a couple of weeks away is the minimum we should ask for !! :lol: :lol:
