Look what we did today!
And a bit closer…
Big thanks to the kind staff at Kakamigahara Caterpillar for letting two odd looking blokes waltz in off the street and request a demonstration. They even gave us a little digger to attach to my mobile phone. It’s got a movable diggy bit and zooms forward when you pull it back, making it the perfect companion for Ricky’s Choro-Q police car and fire engine:
For those of you into Japanese toys, do you Choro-Q or Tomica?
Back to the subject of diggers, One of Rikuto’s books has a picture of the Hitachi EX8000 ultra-large excavator, one of the world’s biggest diggers. I wonder if they’d let us sit on it?
Did you find any treasure?
That looks like fun. I’m so jealous!
Rikuto has a good daddy
Very cool thing to do for your son.
That’s an awesome idea for a trip with your son. I bet he had a blast.
BTW, we have Tomica stuff
It’s so cool that they let you get into the digger! Did you get to operate it?
Man, that would have made my day as a kid.
Great pictures Nick. Ricky looks really bemused by it all. It was nice of the chap to let you sit on on the digger.
