    Hello all,

    Just found this forum and wanted to join immediately as WAGONS rule!! I live in west coast Finland and my current rides are as follow;

    -1958 Dodge Sierra. Found at H.A.M.B and bought from Georgia at November 2010. Thanks Chuck!!! Summer 2011 we drove +3000 miles even she still needs quite a lot TLC. Sierra is co-owned by my good pal Jukka.
    -1960 DeSoto Fireflite. Found at H.A.M.B and bought from Ohio at November 2008.
    -1964 Dodge Dart that has been in the family since `65. Original slant six (ruler) but will hit the streets next time with 340 6-pack, TF727, 8 3/4 combo.
    -As daily driver I have F*rd Taurus STW...
    -Team member of Sometime Racing OL540 and for sure our race car is also STW :)

    Thanks for the warm welcome!!

    More pics were requested so here are couple more...
    -58 Sierra just arrived to Finland and getting prepared for the test run.
    -Later on 2 happy fellows enjoying a beer after a successful test run. Co-owner Jukka at LH and me at RH. And the beers (SweetWater 420 extra pale ale) came with the Sierra (y) Chuck is THE Man...
    -My `60 Fireflite. Not STW but hopefully you don`t mind posting this as we are on "intro".
    -Opel Omega STW. 531 cid BBC + modified Vortech V4-SR + CrMo tube chassis etc... (Owner & Builder; Sometime Racing).

    Will post more pics but meanwhile you can surf to www.fotki.com/juppee to find more about the Finnish car scene.

    PS. Beer name edited as my dementia spells it everytime "stillwater"

    Welcome, Sierra!

    Love those late 50's Chrysler products. Sad thing is that there's so few of them left......glad you're getting this one back in shape even if it's over in FINlandia...)
