Superb clips!

Imagine using the same script today, you'd fall about laughing, but in those days you could get away with it...almost an American version of Mister Cholmondeley-Warner

Great Clip of the Charger i Love that old footage

, however i gotta say it was almost embarrassing to watch just how bad it handled that track

, frankly it was laughable,I dunno about putting on the top gear track to see what time it gets, i honestly recon an off the showroom floor Mondeo would smack its arse

I reckon you are bang on the money there. I reckon my missus could do it on a pogo stick. Nice clip but it looked very slow, and ungainly round that track.

It was a bit like watching Monserrat Caballier (having O.D'd on PCP) trying to get round an ice rink assault course whilst desparate to 'crimp off a length'.
