Heavy!!! I think this challenger has much more resemblance to the classic charger than the new charger does!

Looking good!

We now have an almost complete set - Challenger (Mr Hammond) / Camaro (Jules) / Mustang (Me the best of the three obviously) all we need is someone to buy a Charger!

Common Julian post up a pick of your Camaro.

There you go Simon. So you bought a newer one, your other one was much earlier wasn't it?

I used to have a mustang too up until about a year ago when I had the bright idea of going back to a delorean :shock:

Nice ride, congratulations!

I have always wondered what is the feeling with the clutch, matched to a so huge engine :?:
