"Back-Off !!!!!" - It's Mine!!!
Driving round the winding lanes of Dorset, I was totally taken aback to find this classic American car parked beside my friends house. I, of course, fell in love with it on first sight (perfect for towing that Airstream trailer i've got my eye on). My friend, on the other hand, considers it to be a monstrous eye-sore. What do you think?
After many 'hours' of research, I've uncovered a few RamFactoids-
The Dodge Ramcharger was a large sport utility vehicle built by Dodge from 1974 to 1993. It's now considered to be a rare bird indeed!
- The Ramcharger was primarily produced as a two-door, fulltime four wheel drive vehicle although a two wheel drive version was available beginning in 1975. It went out of production in 1993 when 4-door SUV's became more desirable.
This one appears to be in its original form, apart from British number plates that look distinctly odd - the owner told me it originally came from Michigan. My guess is that it is a late 80's model (1987?).
The Ram Head statue appeared exclusively on trucks from '81-'96. During the mid-eighties, thefts of these cast aluminium trophies exceeded those of the popular Mercedes-Benz star.
I was enlightened to discover that these mudflaps are an example of popular mud-flap culture!
Yosemite Sam (here in his alter ego as Sea-Going Sam) warns drivers to keep their distance - or else!
So..... Classic cars .....American or European, Whats your favourite model?

That vehicle does seem a bit out of place. I'm ashamed to say that back in my junior high school days of hoodlimism (is that a word?), I pinched a couple of those hood ornaments myself.
A RAM truck and an Airstream trailer? That sounds like a sweet set-up. My friend in California loves her RAM. It's from about the same time period.
Oooo. You could then have a portable satellite connection that would work in your tornado shelter (since you don't want to go flying into the canyon with your Airstream and truck.) & it would be portable for when you aren't in the tornado shelter.
