They had also some arguments about my conditions where I demanded to get straight to place of general to save time for eventual thing, I wonder why, I think even that plan was perfect? :lol:

Thats odd.
You were doing THEM a favour!
saving them all that time. And saving money on the medals and such.

Straight to general would have saved them so much time and money.
But the world over, theres no point expecting reason from the managment. :lol:

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 think VND should have a volvo300club sticker when he is coming over here :D

It makes me laugh when people over the pond tend to buy absolutely trashed things like this to restore. I guess if you really like welding THAT MUCH.

With all the DAF's driving around in the US, every single one is worth saving! And besides, it's a really, really cool project :D
