Grant, you are a very modest fellow  :D

My only wish is that the current fleet stays intact. No more cars on this lot, says the boss.

Father christmas says the first 2 will be real tough, but the others he will take financial incentives for.

Andrew nothing wrong with Chargers Mopar metal is really good stuff mate.
i used to own a 1973 VJ Charger 340 4 barrel it was a great car I was only 19 when I bought it but it was an awesome car handled like a boat but went like stink in a staight line and it sounded great too ,i only wish i had it now, not realising how rare it was then.But you must understand that all my mates were driving GT Falcons and XU1 Toranas so it was really a different era.
I do remember out running a cop car down the Pacific hwy in Sydney reached an indicated 135 Mph on the then expreessway from Gosford.The things you do when your young and invincible.
