Enthusiastic Young Visitor at the DAF Museum

Last month, we had the pleasure of welcoming a wonderful young visitor to the DAF Museum! Eleven-year-old Gijs van den Berg from The Hague, officially appointed as 'Great Brabant Fan' by the Governor of Brabant, was invited along with his grandfather.

This invitation was in response to his comment in the Eindhovens Dagblad that a visit to the DAF Museum with his grandfather was high on his to-do list. We made that happen for him. Besides being a big Brabant fan, he had clearly prepared well for the visit; he knew a lot and was an attentive visitor during the tour. This was undoubtedly also due to his enthusiastic grandfather, who worked for DAF for over forty years and occasionally provided our own experienced tour guide with additional insights...

After the tour, young Gijs, along with his grandfather (and parents, grandmother, and younger brother), enjoyed a delicious Brabant lunch in our Daffetaria and received a nice DAF tractor as a memento. "A day to never forget," as Gijs himself said!
