Midlife Crisis!

Oh dear!  What have I done?!  Help!!

[Barrykearley 6,843]

Spunked a load of dosh on a car with the steering wheel on the wrong side

[Mark Blanchard 1,642]

Was supposed to buy an S4s.  Ebay and beer.

Never mind, Daisy Duke will be along in a moment...

[KAS-118 229]

Wasn't the Dukes of Hazard Car a Charger rather than Challenger?

A little Mopar to go with the Mach1? 440 six pack? Go big block or go home! Good luck squeezing that down the country lanes. Enjoy the new ride.

Hope you can find some wide open spaces to enjoy it and a DJ to cheer you on!

You don't need help.  You need congratulating.

Very nice, I would love a charger either with or without Daisy Duke.

Someone told me it's in 2 Fast, 2 Furious.  Never seen the film:

Seen one in 2 Guns though:

[Advantage 910]

Yee and indeed, haaa.

[100th_Idiot 339]

Watch out for pesky corners.

Do like a Challenger though.

[Mark Blanchard 1,642]

Yes it's brilliant in a straight line!

[Barrykearley 6,843]

Any sign of daisy dukes panties under the seats ?

asking for a friend

[Mark Blanchard 1,642]

I’ve found them, but the label says Bo and there’s brown stuff on them.  Is your friend still interested?

[Barrykearley 6,843]

@swindon_alan you still want them??

We all have that urge mate. i got over mine in my 20's after having an old Mustang that while driving the A11 the fuel pump decided to leak and she burst into flames and was no more.

Sad cause the noise she made was AWESOME!

[Mark Blanchard 1,642]

So had to do a top engine rebuild on the Challenger, as the previous garage forgot to fit the valve stem seals when doing the engine rebuild. 

Also put a side stripe on, blacked in the grill and alloy centre caps.

Getting a bit bored of the Mustang, time for an Esprit S4s or an S300 if anyone please knows a good low mile one

 

[Steve V8 1,310]

That is an absolute thing if beauty Mark, how can a garage forget to fit the stem seals? It beggars belief... 

[Mark Blanchard 1,642]

I agree, the garage balls up with that.  But they did a good job with the rest of the engine rebuild and the car is superbly restored.

Though driving it is another thing, yes, it goes very fast but no power steering, drums all around and no servo assistants to the brakes!  I need to drive an Esprit again!

[Steve V8 1,310]

On the subject of American beauty,  this is the Mustang my daughter ended up with for her wedding car.

Well not quite a Mustang, but brash and loud enough to meet her extensively high expectations. 

Unfortunately the groom didn't manage to meet those expectations, so 6 months after selling my Harley to help fund her big day she's kicked him out. That's my girl..

That's why I am a big fan of the kids paying for their own weddings!  Me and the wife paid for our own 24 years ago and it didn't do us any harm. Wasn't the biggest, the poshest, the boldest of do's but everyone had an absolute ball, most were pissed as skunks and well fed at the end of it, no fights or arguments, and my best man got off with a bridesmaid that night. So all around, job done.

Kids today, or is it there stoopid parents, are all going a bit mental trying to win the wedding of the year war with the arms race escalating each year, and spending way, way, too much, and often much more than they can really afford.  Put the money towards a deposit for a house, a flat, or a Lotus and a few grand behind the bar to oil the night :)
