I know one of them likes the charger, the other the challenger the tall dorky looking one did a dvd where he basically talked crap about all american cars. "loves american muscle"...maybe not but at least they blew the crap out of a hybrid car

Funny!

He did a much better job than that little wanker who tested the Hummer in Death Valley, who spent most of the time criticizing the U.S. for building gas hogs, yet flooring it every chance he got. And of course the little sh#t just loved the McClaren and the Aston Martin, which don't get any better mileage than the Hummer.

That's great video. Miller said "who wouldn't like the charger" and I would say "Who wouldn't WANT a charger"!?

Quote32 Series 4 Episode 3 23 May 2004 Jordan
Main review: Cars for track days, Porsche 911 GT3 RS versus Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale. Both cars are heavily stripped down with minimal amenities. Clarkson remarks that the Porsche is very plain, while the Ferrari is very complex, and finds the Ferrari is the more astonishing track car. Both cars scored a Power Lap time of 1:22.3 in the hands of the Stig.

Review: Richard Hammond reviews a 1968 Dodge Charger 440 R/T and was tempted to buy one, but found out it won't fit in his garage. Jeremy promptly tells Hammond that the Charger is rubbish and the Dodge Challenger is the right Dodge muscle car to buy.

I'm English and what he explains about the garage is the exact reason I had to sell my Charger, most of our garages over here are 16 X 8 and obviously the Charger is over 17ft long, here's my old one

I still live at home and my Dad has 2 of his cars in the garage already so I was left with renting, garages big enough for the Charger rarely come up for rent and when they do they are way too expensive, it seemed ashame to leave outside like I was doing in our climate as the body was in real good solid condition, I will get another one some day though

thanks man.. as for the stance... it changes just about every day, the air shocks mean i can tweak it to just where i like it, unfortunately they old "older then me most likely" and they will only hold the air for... maybe a day, ive replaced all the lines and it still loses (just not as bad) oh well, I'm to upgrade to the edlebrock shocks!

this is the primary difference between brit moparians and american moparians.  brits buy a house hoping to get a decent garage, americans buy/build a garage and hope a house comes with it. :D hehehehehe

I got my Charger in 1986 (lived in Warwickshire)
I sold it to a guy 2 weeks later because my parents wouldnt let me keep it at their home. something about it not fitting on the driveway ??
Anyway, it went to a guy in Shipton-on-stour and that was the last I saw of it
I even remember the Registration plate was NUK 444K (registered imported in Nuneaton).

I just recently saw his return episode of Top Gear after being in that jet car crash...pretty horrific video of it.  Lucky man to be alive today.

:smilielol: I think the English term you mean is "twit."

Although he might indeed be worthy of the other.  :eek2:

mikesbbody

I have heard both "twit" and "twat" from the english  :smilielol: maybe one of the english members can tell us?

If you Americans didn't make cars so damn big we wouldn't have the problem of finding a big enough garage.........Just joking : )
