It's giving me bad thoughts about what a good car the Challenger must be... Having owned a couple, they're not bad cars. The 392 is fun (6.4, 475 horsepower).

It is 18 years old - if it developed a major fault I doubt anybody would want to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverFolkUs Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Spotted a broken down car earlier. Except it was fresh from Copart with trade plates in the windows, writing on the windscreen etc Obvious accident damage to the OSF. The wheel had a bit of camber. Think they had tried driving it and released "oh shit, it's not driving straight, the bottom arm must be bent.." When will people learn to just recover cars from Copart 🤣 Coprolalia, GrumpiusMaximus, MiniMinorMk3 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Recently discovered this little Youtube channel, there's some rather good content. https://www.youtube.com/c/MovingOurWorld What's extra weird is that I only recently learned about the Humber 10 and couldn't find much about them and then up popped this video on the home page so now I know more about them. And so do you if you've watched the video. There's some really obscure things on the channel too, like this DKW F1 which is another car I knew nothing about.

vulgalour Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 The Youtube channel above introduced me to another new (to me) thing, the Lightburn Zeta. I was going to stick it in the 'cars you just found existed' thread, or whatever it's called, and I can't find it so it's here instead. It's definitely a thing. Amazingly they sold more than one. People paid money to own one. Obviously I want one too because look at it. It'd be the perfect companion to a Shamrock for when you want something a little more compact for buzzing around town.

When will people learn to just recover cars from Copart 🤣 When will people realise Copart is a fucking scrapyard. The cars there are all bollocksed, that’s why they are there! It’s not a place to get bargain. If you can’t afford a 3 year old Audi, stay at home, don’t invest your money into one that’s had a bang and sat in a puddle for six months thinking you can put it back on the road. chadders and RoverFolkUs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No petrol station shot as it had a full tank. Beautiful. My dad (a builder) had one as a second car when I was young that he bought from a rich client who wanted rid. It was the 3l 24v in limousine extended wheelbase spec. It was sadly often broken due to electronic ignition issues, drank fuel like a battleship and handled like it too. We went on a driving tour holiday once that included some laps of Brands Hatch. The waft was immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used vehicle smart on the buses in that episode and one of them is on SORN… it may survive! LightBulbFun and BorniteIdentity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
