Mopar Muscle Association UK

Was you there and do you still own the car, I was and I do.

Great old shots Derek. Thanks for sharing. Cheers up another crappy winters day.

Happy days Del. Shame that meeting never really grew.
Some great cars there i've not seen for a while eg the ex Dean Bailey 68 Coronet

I think it started to go down the pan when the Ace changed our date from a sunny June evening to a cold and damp March, their loss.

ah them were the days
sunny
Burgers and cups o tea
people could be arsed to turn up....


did we have one year where it was a Saturday afternoon that coincided with Chelsea i.e aligned with the pre Chelsea meet

i seem to remember a mad dash through Kensington behind scott in a long train of Mopars.

or was that just a message board arranged Ad-Hoc thing...

Good memories Derek....as said dont see to many of those motors around anymore ( including my old 72 Charger)....
Think most of them went across the pond....

Wow. Now thats a while ago.

This was the first 'more than 5 miles' outing in my charger I think.
Old reg#, horrible slot mags, no trims, ripped seats, 318, non restored chrome, shot bushes, the list goes on...
Still, she made it !

Thanks. That must have been 2006 I think, I know its our 15th year together. (well, bits of us. Triggers broom and all that...)

A few years ago they started labelling the pre-Chelsea Cruise meet at the Ace (from about 4pm?) a 'Mopar' meet, or a 'Pontiac' meet, or a 'Day Van' meet etc but that never really caught on
I think the mad dash thru Kensington may have been the Tunnel Run back in 2009 That was fun

You could be right Dave, the 2007 Mopar meet at the Ace was Saturday March 31st so that would have been the Chelsea Cruise night.

Was this your 72 charger if so it’s still in good condition and desperate to get out

Hi yes that was my old Charger had her for about 10 years did some of the upgrades to her .
Was a lovely old motor good to see its still about ( Chris the previous owner did offer me back the car) but I've got to many other projects going on these days .
Interesting enough found an old CD the other day re Bovingdon picnic ... Tearing down the airfield, sure Derek will remember those days ... with a certain Brutus and naughty Alan !! Great couple of guys ...
Enjoy your motoring
Richard ...

Did you quarter mile it with the 408 motor in it,if so how did you find it.also is it original gearbox and rear diff ,

Thanks colin

Aw ! ScoobyCharger. Dont remember the black front end ? Looks good on it though...
