Emiel,

Would love to bring her along, but it is a 275 km long way. That would mean two days to get there, two days to stay there and then two days back.
That’s a bit to much.

See you tomorrow.
Kind regards, Henk

Just got back from Meddo. Met Brian, Ann, Emiel, Henk and Pascal there. Frans was on his way over but sadly I missed him. The weather was so-so, though it started to clear up by the time I left. The show was huge, as always, and it was a pleasure to be there, also as always. I forgot my camera so no photos :( . I got to meet the world's most famous tractor, Dotty. She was awesome, such a sweet runner!!

Already looking forward to next year!

So is Emiel!!!

Got back home about an hour ago after a great trip. The best Meddo ever!! Even if my magic did not work completely on the weather ( you cannot get a good supply of nubile virgins these days)!!!

Lots of this :beer:

and that :buddies:

and a few :yikes:

Especialy with short skirts and long leather boots eh Emiel.

And we got to meet the beautiful Eva and Hannecker :D (sorry if my spelling is off).

Oh! Nearly forgot! a special group of Fordsons. A Super Dexta and a Super Major and we would have had a representative from all their era.

Still it gives us all something to aim at next year IN ENGLAND

Hi guys,

Meddo was great! Eva and I had a great time. It was great to meet
so many people of this website!

Luckily I got my tractor ready the evening before Meddo, so the 6 till 7 hours driving went well.

This is a picture just before I left. The trailer is full of tools...to help other people of course.. :D

Image

Here Emiel, Ann and Brian came on to the festival:

Image

And here's the most famous Dexta on Tour 8)

Most of you guys have probably read the help Brian offered me, when it didn't went to well with my 6 cylinder.
This is luckily just for fun! :rofl:
We had a lot of attention with this action. :D

Best regards,
Pascal

As you all say, it was indeed a great weekend.
Saturday was gone before I knew, So was the evening.
Although I was early Sunday morning on the site and was planning to leave about 15.00 h, it was an hour later when I left.
Time flies when you’re having a good time.

Glad you made it all back well with the tractors.

Hmmmm, England hee. Wouldn’t that be a party to go there with a few guys on there tractors.

Didn’t make much pictures, but this a row of famous Fordsons

Hello,

This Meddo really was great. Did to much talking to see all the lorry's tractors, cars, motorbikes etc.

Also I forgot to make photo's, I've only 3 which don't show anything additional to the allready posted pictures.

Here are some I took from this site: www.winterswijk.org

This are Brian and Ann unloading the bespoke most famous Petrol Dexta in the world:

One of the best tractors on the show:

Old and very old:
Image

The most reliable one in front:

All tractors ready to be taken home:

If you want to see all the pictures just go to http://www.winterswijk.org and then click on the text "photoalbum" on the left hand side.

Next time in Enland isn't a bad idea. Does anybody know the legal side of dutch tractors driving in England, as we do not have license plates over here. Towing them on a trailer won't be a problem I think of course.

Regards

Emiel

Great idea! ;-)
Perhaps a Doe and a few County's too? ;-)

I think we need license plates for our tractors?
I have read a story of a guy on a fergy from Holland that went into the Dales. Although it's doesn't deal with blue tractors, it's a great website I think.
http://www.annatefka.com/ (click on the English flague on the left)

I can ask that guy what we need to go to the UK.
