Back in the mid 70s there was a very special silver charger on our driveway an E49 car #43 what made more special was it was a big tank fillers on both sides Owned but Jim Bramwell Jim and my father took it Levels with a tow bar with a bike trailer it used most of the fuel tank 36 gallons from Dunedin to Timaru So the story goes Jim was driving when a "wanker" in a Jaguar passed them Jimmy put the foot the floor and pasted the Jag with bike trailer with bikes doing in 130MPH mark Hope he sees this post and fills us in more I was 15 at the time
My family had a blue Pontiac Trans am from America and a Jet black valiant charger with the doors welded shut so you had to climb in throw the passenger window the charger and Trans am were my brother's welding the passenger door up the idea came from the Dukes of Hazzard t.v show ahhh the memories hey charger
Anyone know where to find the rest of this series? Episode 2 used to be on Vimeo but has been deleted - fortunately I saved a hard copy a few years ago but these are the only 2 episodes I've seen, and can find.
Thanks for the memories......My father was an exec at Tonsley Park so we had new Chargers and Valiants every year as family cars...very lucky....
