I don't understand why he's selling it already. images/smilies/wacko.gif

Phix · May 28th, 2005, 03:30 AM

He saw the light... images/smilies/lol.gif

bihus · May 28th, 2005, 04:53 AM

Probably he got more expenses than planned.
And those guys aren't the kind of guys that will have a car for too long, either.

Some 0-rating idiot has bid it up to 17000 pounds (as of right now).

I wonder how much Richard paid for it last year.

Pity, I was hoping they would make good on the "lowest milage" contest jokingly proposed in the last series. That would've been fun.

mgkdk · May 28th, 2005, 07:23 AM

Just got this of the description, that can't have been cheap.

Quote:

Since being imported by Richard just last year, it has had a new steering box; starter motor; Koni dampers all round; Wilwood front brake calipers and matching discs; competition cam and lifter set; a matched Edelbrock manifold and carb package; Mallory electronic ignition; K & N filter; Mopar performance rear leaf springs; and a new CentreForce dual friction clutch kit.
The carb has been stripped and fitted with new jets and springs and the cylinder heads have been removed and rebuilt. Wheels were custom made 17x 8in front, 18 x 9in at the rear, costing nearly £5000. Tyres are Z-rated Toyo proxes.

Daniel · May 28th, 2005, 12:54 PM

iboss429 · May 28th, 2005, 02:06 PM

id take the 440 magunum sublime charger anyday over a morgan anyway here are the hamsters reasons for selling the charger http://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyleandleisure/motoring/

Gygen · May 28th, 2005, 05:17 PM

that's a pitty. That's a really nice car. How mutch did he buy it for?

controlspecimen · May 28th, 2005, 05:26 PM

"The Charger is a 1969 base model, converted to R/T spec in the 1990s in the US."

Maybe he's selling it because it's not a real R/T? When he first reviewed it he said the R/T is "the one you want".

Raven18940 · May 28th, 2005, 06:00 PM

I don't think he's the type to care about whether it's a real R/T or not. He said he's selling it cause it's too expensive to run. And I can imagine it would be an expensive SOB since all the parts would have to come from America and gas is something like $8.00 a gallon.

"Apart from the small dent and the bonnet issue, this Charger is a great example in good, solid condition. It's also VERY LOUD" images/smilies/lol.gif

Hes replacing it with a morgan? He has more taste than I gave him credit for

snq · May 29th, 2005, 12:49 AM

The Morgan would be one of the very few valid excuses for ditching a Charger images/smilies/smile.gif

Leppy · May 29th, 2005, 01:40 AM

The morgan being that crosseyed thing??

logo · May 29th, 2005, 01:42 AM

I seriously doubt he could afford an Aero 8.

Ethan · May 29th, 2005, 03:38 AM

It think it was the fuel consumption. he joked when Jeremy had his GT and he's living it in flesh

Pity. Although the Morgan is a good car (if he bought the GTA version)
