I hate you! Teeth

Have to wait untill mine arrive in Holland.
I think I'm going to emigrate to the USA and become the nextdoor neighbour from CCM.

Compliments with the Shear modification.

Init a kick in the rear end being a grown up? The only consolation prize is I get to run equipment to pay those bills

Hey Eric;

Congrats on being one of the first ones to get these beauties. Just wondering if you have a WSI Hitachi 870 and how these 385`s compare. The pre-production sample that was on display at Brandon`s show last year was, in my opinion, lacking in some of the finer details of the 870. However, these finished models look really good with some added details that weren`t there on the pre-production ones, like the opening side doors for the engine compartment.

Great looking models there the 390DLME is a blast for me and those who hunger for the mass excavator model since it unveiling in 2001 which brings us to 11 yrs of waiting. Now it has come to completion very unique by cat. Overall all three models are excellent great job by CCM as they have answer the call.

the 390DME is the only one that I didn't pick up, and I'm beginning to regret that decision, might have to rectify that sooner than later

You better Eric quickly correct your order. Infact the 390DLME is the most popular of the 3 watch and see how many euro guys park them on their shelves. I'm watching how they ship out after all orders have been purchased there will be a post deciated to the 385CFS385CL/390DLME models to see all those who have bought the model with display pics in the post. However we will have to wait till that time.

Eric,
Nice models. Good to see it's not raining. Just as well you didn't move Down Under because half the bloody country is under water now!

Too true, there are perks to being a grown up. Running equipment, being a dad, fun stuff like that.

regards,
Jim
