Touchdown

Reading time: less than a minute.

Thanks so much to all our regular readers for your patience and friendly messages over the past week, I’m now back from Vietnam after my little lost-passport debacle and Silodrome will return to regularly scheduled programming.

This is a picture of a Jeep piloted by Jim Vaughan in the late 70’s, it’s a textbook example of wheel-articulation in action. I stumbled across this snapshot over on the brilliant OffRoadAction.ca website, check them out if you have time.

Editor’s Note: For the first time in Silodrome’s 10 year history we’re publishing the Top Cars list for a year in early January of the following year.
