Hello from Berkshire

Post by Mopaul »

Hi everyone... Paul here
Well I am a former member of the club dating back to 2006 when I owned a '68 Plymouth Roadrunner for a short while. Used to own a '71 RR too around 29 years ago.

I've now come back to the MMA UK bosom again after being on the lookout for a classic Mopar since selling my modern Mopar, a 2006 Hemi 5.7 Chrysler 300c.

Managed to get my sticky fingers on a '68 Satellite belonging to a guy on the UK Mopar facebook site. Having been resprayed back to her original green colour and in for MOT tomorrow with a bit of luck I'll be picking her up Sunday from Peterborough for a nice road trip back Reading.

Thanks for the welcome....
Dave, I loved the 300c, had it 4 years and would not have parted with it but for my obsession with owning a B Body Mopar again.
Took it to Santa Pod a few years ago and got talked into giving it some runs.. I had a Magnaflow cat-back SS exhaust fit along with a K&N high flow air intake.

Thanks, Gareth, I love the colour but the Mrs is not so keen, she'll come round in time :lol:

The car is indeed from Ralph Pete, I intend to get out to as many events as possible, just depends on what shifts I'm working..
