My first DAF was a much-missed 55, in rare mimosa yellow. It was my first car and I acquired it just after I had passed my driving test at the tender age of 17 in 1980.
I had no intention of getting a DAF - I was thinking of something like a Mini and had a real thing about HB & HC Vivas - but it came from a distant relative who was no longer able to drive.
To cut a long story short, I kept that car for 18 years! It went all over the place with the DAF Owners Club activities.
But, things went wrong with it and I kind of gave up on it. And then... my current 33 appeared in 1999.
It is the one that you can see on the front page of our website. It's a nice little car - i threatened to sell it last year, following its little trauma and breakdown, but then all the threats came in from members saying "you can't let it go"! So I haven't.
OK - over to you... ;D
