RFChris Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 Laura made a joke today about me buying everything internally combusted....to which i acted shocked. But when she made me go through the list i realised it'd be cheaper to be addicted to beer! So, this is my appaling car history, starting at the tender age of 14... Triumph Dolomite 1976 MK2 Capri 1980 MK3 Capri 3.0 Ghia MK1 Polo MK3 Cavalier MK2 Orion MK1 Mondeo MK2 Astra GTE MK2 Astra GTE MK2 Astra GTE 1973 Bug 1972 Bug 1983 Mini 1983 Mini 1976 Mini 1985 Mini 1976 Hillman Imp Vauxhall Nova 1.3 SR Vauxhall Nova 1.2 Merit Vauxhall Nova 1.2 Merit 4 door! 2001 Vw Lupo Nissan Sunny estate Rover 420Gsi VW Jetta Bmw 518i Bmw 518i Bmw 518i Bmw 730i Bmw 730i Vw Golf Vauxhall Calibra Vauxhall Vectra Ford Escort Mercedes 230CE Rover 800 Vitesse Honda Concerto Rover 216gsi Rover 218Sld 1969 Charger Ford Capri 1.6 Laser Ford Capri 2.0 GL Ford Zodiac Mitsubishi L200 Ford Cortina 2.0 GL estate Vw Polo Vauxhall Corsa Escort XR3I Sierra 1.8LX Rover P4 ....48!

RFChris Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Posted January 22, 2007 chris you had a '69 charger!!!! what happened to it? Still got it....i think. My uncle lives out in Arizona. He said he had a Charger that was only good for parts and if we wanted it we could HAVE it ('we' being me and my old man) and all we had to do was pay for the shipping. So, we did. 3 months later and it arrived. And let me tell you, it wasn't even good for parts. Its a very VERY rusty, beyond any form of economical restoration utterly useless lump. And as far as i know it still resides in a borrowed shipping container in the yard of a cabin company in Liverpool. I think. Bloody waste of money.....
antz Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 do you pay to keep it there!? get it and stick it on ebay someone will buy it

RFChris Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Posted January 22, 2007 do you pay to keep it there!? get it and stick it on ebay someone will buy it Nah, my Dad used to work there. The place is epic so its taking up no space. As for ebaying it, well, we got it 6 years ago. And it was a peice of poo then....i don;t think it'll be any better now. You know me mate, i'll buy and try and save anything. Chargers are my fave too, hence investing my hard earned apprenticeship money on it...but honstly....this one is a gonner. It'd be more realistic to attempt to put...... ...that back on the road.

Say what you like, and I know others give them a bad press, but that was the most reliable car I've ever owned, 3 yrs and not a single hiccup. Plus 145bhp mid engine rear wheel drive, lightweight, and they do handle. I never failed to shake off over confident "sports" saloons and coupes round the twisty bits
