Finally got the Charger.

It needs a wash and a clean but it seems to be better than the pics. Car technology has come a long way since 1972. It is a big comfy cruise mobile though.

So we'll be seeing less of you for a while then? Glad it's turned out as you expected.

Not if you compare it with it's modern Yank equivalents :)

Keep us happy with the nice things and be quiet about the bad things!

Best of luck!

Tom De Moor

Excellent news!! I'll look forward to a vid or at least a sound file of it :)

Will you do me a massive favour?

Find a milk float just before the sun goes down...

No way. I surf usenet at work while I'm waiting for computers to do their stuff. I'm here to stay as the token aussie.

Fraser

We don't have milk floats here. Not for a long time.

It's really really slow. Almost comically so. But it is ok once it's rolling. The steering is as loose as a 2 dollar hooker.

Fraser

Things have got a bit quicker in the last 30 odd years...

0-100k in 10s slow or watching for glaciers in your mirror slow?

I had a Merc box where that was the first symptom of failure. :(

Heh!

0-100k in the 12s slow.

I think it is just really tall gearing. *checks net for a higher ratio diff*

And the turning circle is more of a turning football field. And it has a choke.

Fraser

Should keep you ahead of all but the nippiest glaciers. ;)

It was the beginnings of a brake-band problem for me...

Twirly and heavy too? ...or fingertip PAS?

I remember those.

...just!

Heavy. No PAS. Terrible turning circle and you can move the steering wheel a 1/4 of a turn before anything happens. I'm looking into rack and pinion conversions.

I wish I could forget them.
