The Electric Daf is wonderful, are you going to restore it to it's original spec or do you intend to update some of it with better batteries and the like may I ask?

The electric Daf 44 is beautiful. If that was the future I'd be happy to buy a new car!

I do have free sleeping quarters at the "DAF Inn" when anyone ventures over to this side of the great pond. John I would be quite happy dossing down in the museum with the collection! |

Wow! Does it have a story? Still plenty around by the seventies as I remember. I just had a look around to see when they were exported from the UK - (they also went to Canada, Australia and NZ) and found this:  |

I know it was cheap, but why a Ford from Essex? Oi!!! What's wrong with Essex then?  Nice purchase John. It's sweet in a 'started but not finished monster truck' kind of way. She sure does seem to sit high on her suspension... |

Looking good John!
Don't forget to leave space for the gentlemens leather buttoned chairs! ;D
How long will it take to transfer all of the memorabilia? I imagine that space will fill up nicely!

Well I was in the states when you had the opening but had an organised visite to the National chimney sweep guild of america in indiana so was not able to make it but did look at getting the tickets changed on the return plane but to expensive.

Can't offer anything from here except moral support I'm afraid, John. I know it's not much consolation, but at least it was the stuff that needed work anyway that suffered the most rather than the completed ones on display! On another positive note, it seems we can give you an A+ for the quality of your building work - I don't suppose hurricane-proof was a specific part of your plans when you laid the foundation???

Well , John what a great start to the clean-up ! As you say ;
" I know if I were there (or you were here) " we would be wading in to help "...
Hey...some people pay A LOT of $$$$ for a mud-pack and your getting it for free..
there`s always a silver lining....good luck with the rest of the clean-up
