Hello !
Newbie from Finland want's to say Hi!

This is my wagon:

Image

It is '66 Dodge Dart, 225 engine, TF904 automatic.
It came to Finland in 1966.

I have owned over 17 years now.
It was somekind of wreck when i bought it, even the roof was rusted.

Old car magazine in Finland, called Mobilisti, http://www.mobilisti.fi/galleria/index.html
published seven page story of my wagon, i writed my self and the publisher take the photos and made it story to fit the magazine.
I think that was cool to get slant six Dart to the magazine.

Love it, you'll have to translate "Luiskahuuli" for us, or is the car's name?

Thank you for erveryone!
It is really nice to get nice words for the Dart, and i'm real happy to noticed that Dart with Slant Six is more than a Dart here! Thanx again!

This is my winter car:

That is the one who needs a better carb!

"Luiskahuuli" is my Dart's name, in english it mean ramplip but in Finland it is really bad calling name for the car with a six cylinder engine, every v8 guy and girl make fun of it.
So, what i do, i want it to my Dart named and it sounds so good and knowing the history of that bad nickname i was sure that is the name for my wagon.
And now days, v8 guys and girls are pretty carefull if they want to make laugh of slant six or other six cylinder cars... :lol:
I haven't never pay attention what other people thinks at me or my car, i just think that there business are their business and i do what i want to do...
