Don't worry. I am a patient man. Even if i would not be the first one, I can tell you a thing or two about it.

My understanding is that this truck was made for a company called VAM, which I believe to be in the waste deposal business (Vuil Afvoer Maatschappij). The name is derived from Houweling and Brink. Houweling was a chap involved in the GiHo-truck. Brink the CEO of the VAM. The cab is a DAF item, the rest of the construction was done at Ginaf. Only one was made, the rest were made up of Giho trucks.

You're wrong!  :o  ??? ???  ;D ;D ;D

But I give you the point anyway, since you mentioned the right name in your post. It is not the single Hobri, it is a GI-HO. Without the nameplate, I don't think one can tell a difference.

Well done and thanks for the information.

Thanks :).
I think I know where my mistake comes from. Hobri was kind of the prototype to the Gi-Ho.
