trucks.

You might also hear him yellin'
out his trademark "WOOOOOOOOOP!" When
he yells it out, the ladies come a runnin' just
like mice to the pied piper!
Woooooooooooooooooop!

6, you'll be lucky to get out of the parking lot
before we pop the drive train with our hurst shifters.
Bulldog only comes out on special
occasions. Request this Jeep for an additional $50.
Bulldog seldom speaks.
ANNIE OAKLEY 2 years
Annie is the only LADY that can
put up with the Posse. She has paients and humor
and a large bag of salt to take what the other drivers

She may look like your Grandmother,

you stand, ususally on the side of a Colorado Mountain.
The boss likes her because she keeps the routies
in line.
A tour with her will be plesant
and fun.

This fiesty little wildcat has the energy of a toddler
packed into the body of a man.
Cougar's called these hills 'round
Pikes Peak his home since the day he was born so
he sure nuff knows his stuff.
Cuddly as a lapcat, Cougar will
have you feeling right at home as he purrrrrrrrrs
like a kitten from the driver's seat of his favorite
Jeep known as, "Lady Fur."
Make sure you ask him 'bout what
happens when he gets too much caffinein his system.
COLORADO KID, comes and goes,
Where is the Kid? He went on a
tour to AZ and never returned. Check out his movie.<>
He's fathered several little kids
(see photo). Back in the day his motto used to be
"I got to sow me some seed!" He eventually
had an operation and that's not a problem anymore.
Sorry about that fussin'...how's
we get carried away on that anyway.
The Colorado Kid is the finest
of all the Jeep drivers in all the land.
Also, make sure you check out
the Jeep Tourin' movie he wrote which will be filmed
in 2006: http://www.ragingraccoon.com.

Diamond Dave likes to stay within
the "gem" family so he usually drives
his favorite Jeep, "RUBY."
Make sure you ask him about hot
air ballooning.
BRONCO BILL
RETIREMENT...AGAIN!!
Bronco Bill's original biography
was too vile to publish, so this is the amended
version...
He's been drivin' longer than
the others, he's won the hearts of more ladies than
all the other tumbleweeds combined.
He retired in 2005 but still hangs
around from time to time. But he spends his time
watchin over Colorado Springs from the Will Rogers
Shrine
Bronco was truly a legend at AOW
and is sorely missed.
