Wow! That looks fab. Bloody cheap purchase price too. Anyone got a spare tank?

Ah, but I wouldn't simply just be going there to pick a DAF up - I'd have to fit it around a bunch of other things to make it all worthwhile. When I have a sensible moment I am sure I'd just plump for an unsual DAF that is legal and can get home on it's own steam...!

Anyone would think you're trying to make me see sense or something! I do have friends in France who said I could put a DAF (but ONLY ONE) at their place....that will help. A bit.
My hand's going numb through all this straw-clutching now!

Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on. You know you have to, indeed need to so that strange itching in your head will stop. You know it will only stop when you have bought it.

Don't listen to the voices Howard! Even big spender John won't go a few extra miles for a left-hooker. (The tea-leaf  ) |

By the way, I not trying to make you see sense. By all means go to France and buy a car. Just get a turn-key motor and really enjoy the holiday driving it back. I mean after all the aggro of buying some "quality used spares"* and dragging it back, it'll just be an ornament in the workshop for aeons... Where's the fun in that?
*better know in less euphemistic terms as a pile o' shite.

take head of the wise irishmans advice.... non running cars are milllstones..
I wish id waited and bought a decent daf rather than the teabag that I did, ok shes good in the body now, but for the time (200 hours approx) even at basic rate that makes her restoration best part of £2,000 let alone purchase, shipping, parts etc.. scary really when you add it up, for a car thats worth maybe £1100 tops now shes done.....

Yes Nick, a good point. But it's never about money with DAFs otherwise there would be none left on the road.
