Re: anyone doing much driving in your mopar?
My brother and I drove about the other day in the sun with the roof off and the car drives so well now that my dad and I have done bits on the engine bay here and there since november even making sure the spark plugs are the exact gap like from the factory.

That's brilliant James, you really are enjoying your great car! I love just 'wasting' a day here and there checking stuff, fettling bits and pieces and just keeping on top of things. Always nice when you go out for a drive after and the car feels great. Would love to see some pics with the roof down and your engine bay if you have any please?
Cheers, Steve

Friends lad asked me to do his prom - obviously agreed.
Got struck down with the Covid this week and prom-lad obviously upset as he's told his mates he has a charger taxi. In steps a pal and staight after work jumps in my charger, drives it 50 miles each way to make sure lad get prom ride. Smiles all round - good deed done.
Apart from I didnt get to drive Charger of course. But it went down a storm apparently. Pretty sure I had more tyres before though...

Well Blue and I took the Challenger out today, so we did 4 miles...
Still getting to grip with the new setup, but it ran 10.1 at 137mph before the slicks gave out...
Last run and it was a bit hairy, so a new set of boots on before "Dragstalgia"......

Very badass. I would be scared to let someone drive my car because every car is different and you have to know and remember all the tricks to driving it safely and properly.

Helped out with Race For Life on Saturday. The kids seemed to like the motor.

Took the car up to a display at a local farmers show today and found this old derelict building on the way back. Nice backdrop for the old girl!
