That's one, the other is not as high profile. I though I got a really great deal on the 21 Foden. The other one was not in the same auction as the others. And thanks for the welcome for your Foden club, do we get jackets or hats or buttons?

FAFFA (Find A Funny Foden Association), is currently looking into club merchandise, so for the time being you only get a signed photo of "Motorman" holding a Funny Foden.

White SF DAF is harder to find than the open slot Foden!

That's an interesting point of view, Mick. I would have automatically put them the other way round, but that's perhaps because a white body with SF wheels is whole lot easier to spot than a baseplate slot on yet another SF21d.
What do other members think?

The DAF was the other. I think that that Foden is harder to find because it is harder to spot the slot. This is the first Foden with the slot that I have spotted, and I look on E-Bay quite often. I have seen a good bit of the DAF's.
