wellllll, I hope you\'re not all gonna think I\'ve gone over to the Dark Side what with having been to Yank V8 muscle shows two weekends running and all that.......
.....but I am going to part-ex my Rex against a Hemi \'cuda :D
No, of course not :o. I did go up to the Pod for the Euro Mopar Nationals this Sunday, though, which was a bloody top day out. It did, however involve a lot of big v8s, and since this is obviously a rotary forum and I know how strong feelings can get against the Yankee way of getting silly power I thought I dip a wee toe in the water before deluging everyone with hundreds of pics of heavy horses. So, I thought I\'d bung up a couple of taster pics and if people likeee then I\'l post some more for you.
You could of course always just not look if you\'re gonna get upset lol or just accept that any true petrolhead should lurrrve cool cars that run 9 second quarters in street trim no matter what engine\'s launching em at the horizon :D.....anyhooo;
There was plenty of this kinda thing; well \'ard

The first one did it for me mate. Total crisis in the trouser department over that! :D
More more more more :D:D
Adam
Arty Bo**ocks and Rusty Pick-up - the well known beat combo - direct from Nashville? More of that rat style chevy please!
Your wish is my command, Andrew :D although to be fair I\'m not sure it was "rat-LOOK" so much as the genuine thing. You\'ll notice it\'s running drag slicks though :eek: Sounded absolutely evil but he had some problems with it so it never actually ran the strip sadly, if times went on noise it would have been in the nines easy :rollin

Got to get to bed for a four o\'clock start now so I\'ll bung some more pics and vids up tomorrow when I\'ve more time since there seems to be some interest
More dodge chargers please, preferably a 69 supercharged r/t. LOL. nothing better than 2 tonne cars running 12 second quarters.
I am goin to upset a few people here by saying that i would sell both my RX4 and 7 to have a dodge charger, my all time favourite car!! More noise, more engine, more fun!!!!:D:D:D
Can i have your rx4 then please Grant :D
Adam
We were not able to get away to anything last week-end due to work commitments. :mad:
Good to see photo\'s of this and Duxford, which both looked great... dammit !!
Brilliant pic\'s as ever Nik, thanks.
Nik,
As I said over on the other thread, MORE please :)
DrDan.
PS Is it wrong to want a Corvette? Obviously just for epic power-sliding and doughnuting ;)
:burnout
Nice Photo\'s yet again from you Nik :D
Quote from: Ada7;708352Can i have your rx4 then please Grant :D
Adam
Haha, sure you can if you can get me the charger? I have seen R/T \'s going for 40,000! And they need loads of restoring! Value for money? Not really. Value for fun? DEFINATELY!
Hi Nik,
I had a 440 Cuda 6 pack 4 speed manual in Tor Red or Hemi Orange as the Dodge Boys call it had to sell it about 4 years ago due to losing my job, I had about 5 yank cars at the time and had to sell them one at a time to keep the roof over my head,, life sucks some times but hey ho I have my memories and the pics to prove it
Mu Cuda was featured in American Car World magazine in July 05 and was the cover car and centre spread feature car.
I still love the yank scene but to get anything half decent you have to have a fat wallet as buying something that requires work would probably cost you more in the long run.
Anyway thanks for the memories,I used to go to the Mopar Nats and it was always a good weekend :Thumbs-up
Here we go then, by popular request :Giggle
Not teaching anyone to suck eggs, but in case you\'re wondering about what this "Mopar" thing we keep wittering on about, it is a contraction of MOtor PARts, and started as the official aftermarket for the Chrysler Group of car firms. In later years it came to be thought of more as the performance arm of the various marques covering the main three of Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler, but with various subsidiaries such as AMC, Imperial, DeSoto etc. The shows do suffer a certain amount of dirty Fords and suchlike to attend, but as with most of these things there\'s a healthy amount of rivalry between marque supporters.
Most of these cars, don\'t forget, are from a time more than forty years ago, tend to run to a couple of tons....and many can still run ten seconds or better! They came from a heady time before the petrol crisis killed the ponycar when if you had a thick enough wad in your wallet you could spec a car out of the showroom with full manufacturer warranty on every single part that put out comfortably over 400 bhp and some were genuine 200mph capable vehicles. Imagine wandering into a anything short of an like an AMG or Ferrari dealer and trying the same thing today So, anyway; enough background waffle, on with the pics :)
there may well be a lot of pics of these on here before I\'ve finished, but I make no apology....just one of the most "right" looking stock cars ever
(http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv43/Nik_da_Greek/Mopar%20Nationals%2001%2008%2010/DSCF7927.jpg)

(http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv43/Nik_da_Greek/Mopar%20Nationals%2001%2008%2010/DSCF8097.jpg)
and \'vert flavours, and looking great in both, which I think is a rarity in most cars, they rarely look equally good as a ragtop or tintop. Olds 4-4-2s are a bit the forgotten muscle car, which is a shame cos they look fduking tuff (and were, too, had some absolutely ridiculous 400bhp-plus engine packages)

One of the many things I love about Yank tanks (besides the mad speed and power and noise) is the fact that every marque, model, and sometimes even performance package, had a logo and an identity. The cartoons and badges that stemmed from all these rival identities are a sort of heraldry in themselves

This is rarer than a rare thing...the only (we believe) genuine Dodge Daytona in the UK. This was a homologation special that Dodge had to produce to allow the car to run in NASCAR and compete with the similarly-styled Plymouth Superbirds. These were capable of 200 mph and just imagine a pack of these drafting on the banking at the double ton inches apart from each other. Trivial factoid...the Daytonas were instantly discernable from a Superbird by the rear wings being painted black from the factory, so this one has had paint at least once in its life
