Lots of rusty DAFs and 300's

The article's in German I'm afraid, but even if you don't understand the lingo, the pics are great ...

Herman Roberts is pretty well known there, I think there's a meet at his place every year or so.

Google "Koffieklets Herman Roberts" ...

The article also describes the constant battle he has with the local authorities who want him to get rid of his collection. "Do you have a licence for this scrapyard?" "Show me your papers, please".

Beaurocrats :evil:

I did note also club300 sticker there, so plan is like this:

Tom will go undercover to next "Koffieklets" (as he wrote it), VND must secretly smuggle one V3M sticker into land of tulips, Tom, Dutch members and VND could meet up at border where Tom can smuggle V3M sticker over border during the night and when participating to next "Koffieklets" Tom will install sticker to that yellow 340, while others are having tight argument with officials that came like ordered to make nice diversion.

Yes, I think my plan is flawless, it is good one, right? :mrgreen:

I would been a general, but they did not approve my back to service, you see my back lacks few pieces and I can't carry about anything because of that.

Looks like one of the very first 1976 cars, with chrome mirrors and handles and early style hubcaps ... Great colour too!
