They produce 200 a day here in Eindhoven, another 70 a day in Leyland.

    << Just a couple of days on a [email protected] related jolly to the DAF factory. In Eindhoven tonight ahead of a factory tour & museum tour tomorrow, then onto Amsterdam tomorrow night ahead of a Heineken factory tour on Thursday. >>

    If that's the Heineken factory at Zouterwoude (near Leiden) you'll be 500 yards from where I lived and worked for just under a year in 1988 - 1989.

    Lovely place - Zouterwoude Rijndijk that is, not "de Heineke" - but I bet it's changed enormously. Anyway, enjoy the trip. Tot zo.

    Terrific photos, Billy! Enjoy that Heineken factory tour, too. I'm assuming they have samples of the product?! ;)

    I wouldn’t have thought so, two stroke diesels, whilst providing lots of torque, are horrendously inefficient in terms of emissions and as far as I know are only used in heavy earth moving equipment.

    The factory tour will be at the Nassaukade plant in Amsterdam, Adie. That's where the original brewery is situated.

    It was the original factory in the centre of Amsterdam, no longer produces beer, more of a museum, TBH I wouldn’t recommend it as an attraction, but you did get a couple of beers at the end of the tour.

    Had a spliff last night, first time since being in my teens, I can confirm that it was indeed the good stuff, hell of a lot stronger than the stuff we had back then! :eek::cool:

    Hoping to get a trip to the Netherlands in October or November this year.
    Probably won't take the bike this time though. :cool:

    Rode over there a few years back.

    The 'Kashmir Lounge' quickly became our preferred hangout:)

    I thought we were heading out for a ruby, but that ain't how it was at all!

    Would defo recommend.
