An old and graet DAF in Ratzeburg

The Dutch DAF cars were cool. The gearbox was designed in such a way that you also had four gears backwards. With this they reached the same speed backwards as they did forwards. The Dutch are running crazy car races backwards. Solo and typical for the Dutch with a caravan.

    I remember it so well. That was in the 80s. That was great and very fun! Whenever I see an old DAF I remember the shows ;-)

    I love the dutch. They have a lot of fun and are not as stiff as we Germans. They can't play football, but they can drive a great car! I hope that Max Verstappen will show everyone! My Dutch friends, have fun!

    Gab's auch umgelabelt als Volvo. Bei uns in der Strasse gab's in den 70ern 2 von denen. Gehoerten beide (aelteren) Damen! War das typische 70er "Frauenauto". Damals drueber gelacht, heute mit Wehmut bedacht.

    Ein toller Satz von dir! Wem sagst du es... Ich sag nur Opel Manta oder Trabant 500 / 600. Auch die inzwischen sehr seltenen Japaner aus den 70er Jahren fallen darunter. Wo sieht man heute noch einen Datsun. Beim OiO - einem der schönsten Oldtimerfesten in der Schweiz - traf ich mal einen Datsun-Club. Es waren überwiegend junge Leute. Ich bestaunte ihre Fahrzeuge und sagte, "Eure Autos begeistern mich mehr, als die fetten Amis mit ihren riesen Flossen!"
