The boat looks almost like a car again :)

Well, its in german language, but here are some pictures of our boattail.
I had all paint off the car and Im putting new paint on again soon.

Have a look at the drivers side fender. The big dent at the front corner. It took me hours work, but now, Im really proud of me, because its the first time Im doing bodywork and painting.

J.

 

I'll be in Antwerp on Saturday, so cruise with me to Switzerland on Saturdaynight to attend the Buick meeting on Sunday.

 

Well, at least it seems well meet on Sa.
But Im visiting a friend over there, so I cant come to switzerland with you, sry.

J.

 

I don't think we will meet in Antwerp, too crowded.

 

Well, do you come with your RIV?
You know... I have a cellphone

J.

 

Good luck with your cellphone......... :laugh: :laugh:

Why is it that you call that a handy in Germany ?
Always make me wonder, just like an American car is an Ami o No:
Ame I could understand, but it's not like it's an Amirican car...

 

Well, first time I noticed that we Germans are the only one who call it handy was at the airport when an american Lady asked me if I have any electic things with me.

...Yes, I have a handy.... :Smarty:
A what????
Please open your bag ou:



Dont know where the name comes from. Maybe, because its handy sometimes? o No:

"Ami" is just an inofficial name for "american" over here. Well, we needed something to call them. They call us "krauts", you know :shock:

p

J.

hm.. why didnt I get an email notification for the last reply. Seems it doesnt work everytime

 

IMHO an Ami is an ugly .... and even worse.... french... piece of metal on rubber:



Good luck with your Riviera :beer

 

French Full Size :grin:

Doors and hood are back on the Riv and adjusted

Everything looks good. Ill start working on the outer skin tomorrow

J.

 

I recognise that this is not the best car we have produced....Looks like a DAF...but Citron is still there. :beer

That does not prevent me to say Juergen id doing a great job.

 

You're right if you mean these DAF's:



But this DAF is still going strong:



And what is driving behind the DAF? :laugh: :laugh:




Glad we both have choosen "a better car"

 

OMG..... :ball:

A nationalistic idiot.........you should hate this country, not praise it (or the products) ou:

Hey, just came back from Hamsterjam and I saw this pristine two tone (black/grey) 1978 Riviera on the motorway. :TU:

 

werent those daf's belt drive? the car i mean not the truck :laugh:

 

Yes,

It was a very smart system:

More info at this link :Smarty:

 

That's not a DAF, that's a Volvo......

 

That is as much a Volvo as this is a Chevrolet :laugh: :laugh:





Never had the opportunity to take a close look at that one .....LXXV version??
