    i have drive for manny years true europe and as long i known conventionals are very hard to find becouse we dont have big wide roads

    in to town everything is in and on op each other build and the lenght of the trucks is also a part of the law reguletions

    what the construcion of trucks is protection of work for employees of garages and dealers

    and for a couple of years i known that daf makes the engines for the usa til the factory was ready in the us

    also the price of fuel is cheaper in the us

    new things as drive whit a automatic whitout a cludge pedal is in the beginning very strange

    you put the left leg everytime on the floor whit shifting and even not a stick so you grab whit your arm in the air

    and now if your just to it now problems til you have to drive on a old one than you forget to put the pedal and stick and you look very silly what is going on ha

    and what i known comfort is i every tuck different the boss pays for it or not for luxery

    I don't think I've ever started a kit I've never finished may have taken a month or two to finish BUT it's always bee done I guess I'm a little different to all U guys I have to see it on the shelf being shown off to all who call by.

    Dingo

    sometimes started whit a model chassis etc and can not decide what colour it wil have

    so put it back in the box and wait for a nice looks for it
