Proud to be Dutch 🇳🇱! Fun fact: a Dutch nickname for the DAF car was "truttenschudder met jarettelaandrijving, " for which Google Translate gives "bitch shaker with suspender [of ladies stockings] drive" – grannies in DAFs were spotted wearing a motorcycle helmet…

Growing up in Brooklyn in the '60s my local pizzeria had two DAF delivery vans. I thought they were cool actually....

Lmao "gime me another cigarette " only way to have made that comment more dutch would be the lighting of his new cigarette with the old one.

Dutch Backwards Racing, where have you been all my life???

1:17 you can really sense how old the car is once you realize how low poly the tyres are

The Citroen car you show is the incredibly rare Bijou! Made as an upmarket 2CV for the British market.

I recently acquired 70s British/Dutch crime drama Van Der Valk on DVD. During the first two series, Van Der Valk travelled around the city of Amsterdam in DAF cars. The criminals he was after were also using DAF cars. I thought at the time that DAF only made trucks. When Series three came along (1977)Van Der Valk had traded his DAF for a Ford Cortina and I wondered why? So thanks for clearing up the DAF car company story. Loving your work, keep it coming.

I love how folks say all cars look the same today but 5:20 proves that's the case whatever time you go too.

Fun fact: what became the Volvo 340 series was actually DAF's last car design and the 343 variant came with the radical CVT transmission.

7:01 Joke Bruis rijdt langs de ingang van Blijdorp in een DAF :D Fantastic video, Ed!

My dad is Dutch and knowing my Dad’s side of the family I can definitely see how roadside tourism would be a thing lol.

[iSkully]

Fun fact. The Netherlands had a car company named isis that made road legal track cars. They made a model called the isis sniper but strangely disappeared in the 2010’s.

Mate at 6:35 I could listen to you saying Het Pientere Pookje on a loop forever

[Kandi-tg]

Ah so that's where the CVT came from, interesting thank you

[kaydensrailway]

Dang, the Dutch made the first cars with a CVT gearbox AND the first to have AWD?! Dang, I never knew that! Thanks!

[Nicky_TM]

It’s actually so cool to hear how people were excited about a traffic jam

[rodoherty]

The last few seconds are hilarious! I never laugh out loud in an empty room but you got me this time! Thank you!

9:29 Wauw, nog nooit van gehoord. Mooi wagentje.
