If I'm honest out of all the cars I've owned the one I miss the most was my Dodge Ram pickup 5.7 V8 Hemi, I loved that truck

Back in the 1970's my boss at Burton on Trent had an Australian Ford Fairlane pick up a V8 5 litre or thereabouts. He used to move bales of hay for his horses with it! It was a bit back end happy but boy did it go and it was RHD ! It replaced his LHD Ford Gran Torino complete with the sidewinder stripe as in Starsky & Hutch. I often collected the Rice Twin Horse Box with the Torino from Chasewater Trotting Stadium to take his Pacers back home near Burton on Trent. The Torino was not particularly fast at the top end but back in the day at 1.00 am you could cruise along the A38 in the Torino pulling the loaded horse box at a cool 90 mph with no tail wag or effort just gently deceleration as you approached the roundabouts out of consideration for the horses. Happy days !
