(I spent a full five minutes listening to a '69 Dodge Charger last Sunday)

I fear that is my estimation also.

Sounds a lot better (right sort of valve overlap) than some of the others on there. The one with the red rear panel?

Saw a Dodge Charger at the w/e, parked up at Berekely. Brand new one. Looked like the spawn of a Ram pickup and a flounder.

That, the Camaro and the (dismal) Mustang look like they were designed by an enthusiastic small child with a fat marker in its fist.

It's a shame they'll only shift twenty and then have to sell the factory for scrap to Brazil. I mean, nice idea finally, but hello? Timing?

Boggle boggle. Wish mine had that kind of clatter at idle - the only way is to take all the oil out.

I told you the story of that thing and the small boy, yes?

You drove around without an airfilter for a day and found a small lad cowering in cylinder #2?

More or less.

I'd blagged it for a while since one or other of the Saabs was being mended ignored by Mad Tim. Since I live just down the road from a school, lots of parents park up at the end of our road or hustle their offspring ditto.

I was half-asleep so I buggered up the starting of the beast, which meant it went 'Boggler k-faf k-faf Blap RAAR!' just as mother + offspring walked a couple of metres in front of it. Small Boy stopped in the middle of the road to gaze open-mouthed, before being dragged off by mother, who gave me a dirty look for my trouble.

I warrant that child will have copies of LRO magazine under his bed these days.

Oh, excellent! I do wonder if something like that happened to all of us at some point.
