			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last Tuesday afternoon June 1st, Pedal Joe arrived at Johannesburg after his two-year journey that took him almost 17,000 kilometres. At 15.00 hrs he arrived at Melrose Arch, in the centre of Johannesburg, amidst loud applause. The journey on the off-road pedal go-kart made by BERG Toys took the now 52-year-old Pedal Joe, through 22 European and African countries. On his journey, Pedal Joe conquered virtually impassable roads and was exposed to extreme circumstances with very high and low temperatures. Pedal Joe arrived with tears in his eyes;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;These aren&#8217;t tears of sadness, but of joy. What a fantastic journey, full of success, but also misfortune. A journey I will never forget. I, and my loyal companion &#8216;the BERG off-road pedal go-kart&#8217;, received a warm welcome and the most fantastic response in every country. I&#8217;ll never forget this!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>At BERG we&#8217;re very proud, his BERG pedal go-kart and trailer took him where we wanted: from Paris to Johannesburg regardless of the circumstances. To us, this is the ultimate user test. The BERG Toys pedal go-kart and trailer passed this test with flying colours.<span id="more-99"></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the important Toy Fairs in Europe, USA and Asia, BERG Toys presented their new 2010 assortment. With Jeep®, BERG introduces two Go-Karts for the real adventurers which will inspire the explorer in every child.</p>
<p>For children in the 4 to 12 year age range, BERG offers a new compact model in the BERG Rally. Storage is no problem because this Go-Kart fits in every shed. Also for all the young farmers we have the BERG Traxx “John Deere” which now has two smaller brothers which offer a lot of fun for kids in the 3-8 year age range.</p>
<h3>Jeep® Pedal Go-karts</h3>
<p>Have fun with mud racing, survival in the forest and crossing ponds!  With Jeep® Go-Karts you know that you can cope with everything. These Go-Karts are as strong as iron &amp; take you everywhere so you will have unforgettable adventures.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dealerzone.net/prodImages/productenXXL/03.67.32.00.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-84];player=img;"><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Jeep Wrangler" src="http://www.dealerzone.net/prodImages/productenKlein/03.67.32.00.jpg" alt="" width="110" height="83" /></a>In rough terrain a flat tyre is not what you want. Therefore the standard <strong>Jeep® Wrangler</strong> comes with a spare tyre. A roll-bar is also mounted to provide extra stability whilst the off-the-road tyres will give you magnificent grip under all circumstances.The adjustable seat means that even your father can use this Go-Kart so he can experience real adventures too!<span id="more-84"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.dealerzone.net/prodImages/productenXXL/24.21.34.00.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-84];player=img;"><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Jeep Buddy" src="http://www.dealerzone.net/prodImages/productenKlein/24.21.34.00.jpg" alt="" width="110" height="83" /></a>Its smaller brother <strong>Jeep® Junior</strong> similar to the Jeep® Wrangler is equipped with off-the-road tyres. Therefore this Go-Kart has optimum grip on every surface. With the adjustable seat and steering wheel you will always have an ideal sitting position and you can steer your Go-Kart smoothly across every obstacle.</p>
<h3 style="clear: both;">The Rally takes you where you want to go</h3>
<p>The BERG Rally is <strong>a lightweight, compact Go-Kart</strong> which allows you to tour everywhere, in cities &amp; towns &amp; even in the park. Owing to its compact steering this Go-Kart is extra maneuverable and allows you to take corners fast! This sporty Go-Kart comes in silver, black and red; has wheel-rims with pneumatic tyres and, with the hand brake, every driver can brake and, once he has stopped, he can even reverse!  For the best skids the BERG Rally has a handbrake. The adjustable seat and adjustable steering wheel makes it suitable for children of ages from 4 to 12 years.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bergtoys.nl/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Rally-sfeer-e1266225886339.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-84];player=img;"><img class="alignnone" title="BERG Rally" src="http://www.bergtoys.nl/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Rally-sfeer-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<h3>John Deere Go-Karts are there for the small ones too!</h3>
<p>Next to the BERG John Deere BF-3 (and AF), this year there are two <strong>“Tractors”</strong> available for children in the 3-8 year age range. The BERG John Deere Buddy is based on its “brother” the BERG Buddy and has a spoiler with the John Deere logo. With the optional BERG Loader, the BERG John Deere Triggy can be used for assistance on the farm.  All John Deere Go-Karts are in the original colours and provided with the John Deere logo.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>November traditionally is the month of Ferrari’s Finali Mondiali. This major event of the ultimate sports car manufacturer normally takes place in Italy, on the circuits of Mugello or Monza. This year, the circus had moved to the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia, Spain, where from 13-15 November races and other activities were organized.</p>
<p>At the Finali Mondiali  event Ferrari welcomes its committed fans, sponsors and partners in order to celebrate the end of the racing season together, as Ferrari community. The weekend offers several races in different categories, like the Shell Ferrari Historic Challenge, the Ferrari Challenge, the FXX Programme and the F1 Clienti. The climax of the weekend is undoubtedly formed by the exhibition performed by the Formula 1 drivers of Ferrari, as this year were presented Felipe Massa, Giancarlo Fischichella and the new star of the Ferrari team: former world champion Mr. Fernando Alonso. No wonder Ferrari chose Spain as location of this year’s Finali Mondiali&#8230;</p>
<p>The race weekend, with exhibitions and activities interlaced, was preceded by a workshop where to Ferrari had invited its forty top licensees and main sponsors to talk about future cooperation, with Ferrari and with each other. Companies like Puma, Sony, Shell and the Indian multinational TaTa Group were present, just like BERG Toys. In the workshop it became clear that BERG Toys is a well-respected and important licensee of the Ferrari company. Both parties aim for a long lasting partnership.<span id="more-80"></span></p>
<p>During the Finali Mondiali itself, BERG Toys offered a pedal go-kart track (with several pieces of all three BERG Ferrari models) in the Kids Zone, which was installed next to the paddock of the Valencia circuit. The presence of the track, the display of the pedal go-karts and the friendly staff was arranged in harmonious cooperation with our BERG Toys importer in Spain: Mr. Oriol Masclans of company Masgames in Barcelona.</p>

<a href='http://www.bergtoys.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Ferrari-Shop.jpg' rel='shadowbox[album-80];player=img;' title='Ferrari-Shop'><img width="150" height="150" src="http://www.bergtoys.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Ferrari-Shop-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="" title="Ferrari-Shop" /></a>
<a href='http://www.bergtoys.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Ferrari-Race.jpg' rel='shadowbox[album-80];player=img;' title='Ferrari-Race'><img width="150" height="150" src="http://www.bergtoys.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Ferrari-Race-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="" title="Ferrari-Race" /></a>

<p>You cannot imagine the exposure our pedal go-karts got and how much attention was drawn! In an ocean of Ferrari cars, our pedal go-karts were the islands standing out. Several professional race car drivers sat themselves behind the wheel of a BERG FXX Exclusive, FXX Racer or F1 and Spanish national broadcasting station La Sexta (THE sports channel of Spain) showed an item on the pedal go-karts in the nine o ‘clock sports news on Saturday evening.</p>
<p>It is clear as daylight that BERG Toys has shown itself  in a professional and positive way during Ferrari’s Finali Mondiali 2009 and the accompanying sponsor / licensee workshop. Besides, the exposure, visibility and attention generated give us as BERG Toys community a boost.</p>
