Well, under cover, secret squirrel negotiations have been bouncing back and forth and I can now announce the news that a certain Daf 66 located on a well-known farm in Essex is to be mine. Me! Yes, me. Despite being tempted by a plethora of tidy Sierra's and Mk3 Granada's on eBay of late, I have been tempted yet again by the DAF side. Although this car has a bootlid not a tailgate and is a fetching shade of loud blue not green. There is a downside however. I cannot in all honesty say that I am taken with her 'name'. ENA. Think Ena Sharples and bloody Coronation Street. Nooooooooo. A new name will need to be considered. Sorry but it will come to pass. Say hello to my little friend: There will be some changes. The drivers door is as ripply as a raspberry ripple and will hopefully be changed. Those bonnet mounted mirrors will have to go. There is a tidier carpet in the blue V66 estate which I might try and wrestle from Matt. I don't see why it wouldn't fit. Oh and the Daf non-worky window needs to be made worky. A little mechanical fettling is indicated but seeing as I recently found the service items i bought for Mushy, that is the least of my worries. More posts as things progress. Hopefully a roadworthy Daf 66 will be obtained soon as space is ALWAYS at a premium at a certain Essex based farm. Laters! ;D ;D ;D

I don't suppose Sir Gideon's budget announcement swayed you at all Ken? ;D

To be honest Rich it didn't, but it is an added bonus if I am honest.

So what swayed you? The smooth salesman's patter? The otherwise redundant service items? The Renault POWAH!??

Well done Ken! I think under the grime she's a good'un and shouldn't need too much.

Not the location Nick, just the mirrors. I have some nice shiney one's to go there instead.
Bling above all else.
