Fantastic Andy, I had heard a rumour that you had bought the RoadRunner I'll have to pop over and have a look. Was it anybody local that bought the Charger?

hi nigel & ashley
nigel, a lad from near hexham bought it, come & have a look, if its dry ill take you out in it

ashley, when I saw your car at the americana, I wanted a stroker until you told me the engine price, so I could not belive my luck when this car was for sale, I know it maybe too customised for some & will never be concorse like yours, but jesus it's fast.

George built for drag racing but kept all the trim in it, so can be everyday user if you can afford the petrol !

He reconds it is 580 bhp, eagle stroker, might demon 850 etc & his best time was 11.63 @117 in full steet trim, could it be this much ? It certainly feels it

I told you to go for it because it was a damn good car didn't I? :D

I am sorry to hear that George is not well enough to drive these days though. :(

I can't remember what times it was running with the procharger on. But it was fast.

Has it still got the GV overdrive on it or did he take it of before selling? It had a 5-speed before that as well.

He was down at Avon park a couple of months ago and he ran something like that time. I would think it would need that sort of power to put a heavy car like that into mid 11's. Tspeed is good enough for low 11's
