The "Top Gear" Charger story never gets old!!!   Love it!

This show is GREAT.

That Florida trip episode is an all-time classic.

I'm watching them turn cars into limos right now.  :smilielol:

One of the last lines-

It will always be cool!

Unlike the mustang that stayed around and got softer and fatter.
The charger only lasted 8 years and then...it was gone.

It is James dean to the mustangs Marlin Brandow.

They say that the star the shines twice as bright lives half as long.

it can be a good show but jeremy generally doesnt like american cars at all he's a idiot if you ask me.

It was a good episode 5 years ago or whenever it was made.

Then he bought and sold a lime green 69 Charger because... well I don't really know why...   :scratchchin:

If you caught one of the newer episodes where they're flogging a newer Mustang you'll notice he's also driving a blue / white stripe 68 Mustang GT 390 which he says is his... 

So even though I really enjoy the show I lost a lot of respect for the little guy for the downgrade action  ::)   
Maybe it was a result the head injury he got from crashing the jet car or whatever it was.

I would'nt take it personally, he doesn't like anyone much.

Timopar, BBD, I hear ya I dont take it personally but i think its disrespectful to do and say what they say and do. Did anyone see the episode where they drove through america, they got to the southern states and wrote slogans on these old beater cars they bought. Things like "nascar sucks country music is crap" and "man love is ok" well they pulled into a gas station and just about got the crap kicked out of them  :lol: and had to drive off and clean the slogans off (ok, seeing them run for their lives was funny) the whole time jeremy goes on about how american cars are no good, how they suck gas etc etc it gets old really fast. The little guy's not so bad but yes why sell a charger for a mustang  :shruggy:

Regarding him selling his Charger, guys you must remember driving a Charger in and around London everyday is not easy, i'm from England and I sold my old Charger for a similar reason, I couldn't find a garage big enough to fit it and any garages that do become available that size are just too expensive, if you live in London driving a car as big as a Charger round our narrow streets gets old very quick, even though you consider Mustangs a small car over there they're still relatively big compared to most European cars but they're much more suited to our roads, one day I hope to get another Charger but it will only be when i've got somewhere big enough to put it
