Bob already has a project and an Isetta, and apparently at least one tormentor.

I like the forum/website. Especially the section devoted to DAFs on the Shetland and Orkneys. There be Bubblecars up on some of those islands too. They haven't a separate web presence. Well done the DAFs.

I assume that plate is not salable as, for a change, I can see the value in it. But so much better to own if your name is not Bob so you can annoy people.

I think he means here Richard: www.essexdafs.proboards.com

It was actually meant to be taking the pee out of the DOC forum Webmeister but you never know, one day...we know there is at least one DAF 66 that went up there as my friend sold it to someone who lives in Orkney, but I think they just wanted it for the gearbox.

Hi
    I see Bob had a butchers at this one but he's brassic. 
          For those of you who are not born in London "butchers hook" means look and "brassic lint" means skint - no money.

                                                                                                                                              Mike      ;D

Why would I spend thousands of pounds on a basket case Isetta only to have to spend thousands more and thousands of man hours restoring this when I already have an Isetta , they are one of the most awkward and expensive microcars to restore, I'm having enough trouble fine fettering the one I have. If I wanted BOB on my numberplate I could buy one for a few hundred pounds, job done.
