DAF Museum Eindhoven Meet: 05.07.2009

Post by trabitom99 » 05 Jun 2009 11:50 am

On Sunday, 5th July the German and Dutch DAF Club are meeting up at the DAF museum in Eindhoven. Any V3M'ers living in Benelux (or UK south coast maybe?) interested?

We're meeting up beforehand at the A40 motorway service station near the Venlo border crossing at 10:30. The "museum tour" (in German) is between 11:30 and 13:00.

Entrance 7,- €, DCN members 5,- €

Cheers

Cool! I'll definitely be there. In the GLi though, as the Mk1 will be off the road by then (seasonal reg.)

Well, it was a good day, despite the heat! Drove up in a Volvo 66 with a stuck-on heater, was fun though!

Some pics:

The usual daily for a Germany Daf fan is a Volvo 240 (more so than a manual 300):

Wow. that looks like a great place! I didn't realise the millionth was still around, havn't seen any recent pictures (last one about 2002 ish I think).

The daf rally coupe jobbie looks superb, as does the CVT single seater! Thanks for the pics mate.

I need to get a better pic posted of the Bosch "CVT cars of today" poster - there were a few surprises there ...

Dunno! You'd need to ask the Dutch artist (I didn't remember her name) who created that piece of artwork ;-) The museum guide wasn't too impressed ...

i've heard that that "artist" is being kept on an island far far away in a lunatick house, what crazy ass woman would come up with the idea to fuck up a 300 by painting it completely red! (it even has a leather interior!!)

for me the very most interesting about the daf museum when v3c had the wintermeet there were the daf racing truck, the twin engine quad turbo dakar car and the formula 3 cvt cars. but those mostlikely have something to do with the fact that i work at terberg :lol:

The formula 3 cars were really interesting! Apparently they weren't allowed to race due to a rule which said "maximum amount of gears = 12" Unfortunately, the CVT system has an infinite amount of gears :?
