It was a lovely lunch and gathering. There is something rather magical about your 32. And what a great atmosphere of DAF owners. It took me back to events from years ago when people would help out others who had a technical proble. Today, dear old Biddy appeared for the first time in ages. Poor old Dan was looking and sounding worried because the poor old thing was very down on power and not sounding at all happy. So, cue the DAF Owners Club clever people who emerged from the warm pub and lunch, and got their respective tools and spare parts out, and did what they had to do to help Biddy - and cheer Dan up. More photos below and in the next magazine - and here is a little video of Biddy coming back into the car park after its test run. Well done all for a good day today.    |

I clocked over 350 miles to and from Barnet, not helped by a bad collision on the M1 between Jns 21 & 22, necessitating a massive diversion along the A42, M42 and M6. I haven't been to Birmingham since I was a student! A brilliant day out, with excellent company and cars! Glad Biddy's back on top form and if we can arrange to see the car (and the owner!) at a Daf do later in the year, we'll do some more fettling, to have her running even more smoothly!
I've just refuelled My 33 and it returned 39.1 MPG over the 300+ miles, driving like the wind almost all the way and running on Morrison's normal unleaded. A good opportunity to shake out any problems before the Dutch trip....... Looking forward!
