Princethorpe is the DAF Owners Club yearly concourse and Essex DAFs showed up in force. Matt Roberts took Yolanda, his 55 estate, Eric Bhojani his 55 estate and Haydn Parker his Volvo 66 estate.

Three cars doesn't sound much, but the Essex DAFfers arrived to find three other DAFs, a 55 saloon and two DAF 66s.

So, half of the attendees were from Essex - good effort all!

I'm told that Eric has photos but as he's in the middle of a house move his PC is all boxed up, so we will have to wait for these at a later stage.

From the sounds of it John, not a great deal! ;D

I would have loved to have attended, like I did last year. I'm now kicking myself as there were no air-cooled DAFs there either.

The harsh reality is that Mrs G has a heavy workload as a teacher and it's hard to commit to too many shows and not fair on her either. I'd already promised to go to Litchfield this year so regretfully couldn't do two shows on consecutive weekends, hey ho.
