Nice. Do they stick on the inside or outside?

On the outside Pete.
I'm going to mount a few on magnetics so they can be moved about (They can be ordered that way from Matthijs as well).

The time is almost here.... I have begun to plan the 30th Anniversary of the DAF CLUB of AMERICA celebrations/events. The 30th will happen in mid June, 2015.  This will be a serious milestone for the club so any and all suggestions will be appreciated. Of course all my friends in the UK are invited (no Paul, I can't afford to pay for airfare.  ) To follow the planning and check out the VERY SPECIAL attraction see the linky; 30th ANNIVERSARYJohn |

Yes, that looks like a fun game. Bar billiards would be our similar offering over hear. Good luck with the planning. Hopefully you've started early enough to get members to attend from some of the further flung states.  |

Given that I've allowed about 14 months time for the planning there has been a lot of interest already. 1. The owner of the DAF Shellette in Virginia is eager to bring that special DAF. 2. A member is Alabama wants to trailer his DAF 600 up for the event. I'll try to get Autoweek magazine to cover the event. I may even contact the new Editor at Hemming's Motor News. (IF I feel generous) John |

Myself, Bob C. and Vince had a bloody great weekend (7 & 8 June) at the annual Manchester (VT) classic car show... Bob drove SWEET PEA (aka: Mushy V), I drove SARGE and Vince brought his 66 Coupe' up from Kingston, NY.  Getting the cars ready at DAF Central.  All three lined up in Manchester, VT. What a pretty sight. I had a good weekend with the two "flatlanders" (Bob & Vince) and all three DAF 66 cars. Quite an impressive turnout considering there are only FIVE DAF 66 models in the USA.

Cheers Ken The other day (must have found my motivational pills and taken a few) AERO was uncovered and moved from it's outside Winter storage. I've decided to bring her in so that work can continue in relative dryness this Summer.  Between Normal Work Schedule, Car Shows and work on POSTAL PETE I should manage to find SOME spare time. On Sunday 15 June (Father's Day weekend here) I took MUSHY V to the annual Vermont Veteran's Home Car Show. She performed like a champion thoroughbred during the 70 mile round trip, but still without a working speedometer (the odometer works so it is not a faulty cable)  The Vets had a record turnout this year with 352 cars and the judges thought enough of MUSHY to give her a Top Favorite 60 Award.  Very Happy Camper yesterday, this was the second trophy MUSHY has received this year. John |
