Hey! Didn't realise this was turning into a DAF bashing thread! Won't hear a bad word said against them.
I learned to drive in one of those and, on my first lesson out with my father, one of the belts broke
The car slowly ground to a halt at the side of the A1 in Sandy and my father suggested that he would get under the car and try to free the belt (which had wound itself around the rear axle) whilst I slowly reversed. Over him. He did live for another 25 years to tell the tale!
However, it was quick off the lights and had many a Ford Crapi perplexed until they soon caught up. Plus of course, the embarassment of not being able to find the petrol filler cap when I went to get fuel!
What are the similarities between a DAF44 and an R44? Same the 66s? Perhaps an unfortunate choice of model numbers by Frank but at least there wasn't a DAF22 to my knowledge!
Cheers
