Just phoned the shipping company - California Shipping (Calship) - and they told me it had shipped out over the weekend from LA or Long Beach port, so will arrive just in time for the Spring.

Just hope it's in as good condition as the seller claims (looks to be from all the photos) and that I don't have any issues getting it through an MOT. I'm currently waiting to hear from HMRC to see if they will class it as an historic vehicle for VAT/Duty purposes.

Not sure if that was aimed at me but, if so, no I'm not Greg!

I think you owned it before Greg then, that is who I bought it off in 2000. There is a little bit bout my few years with the Charger here and it pops up all over the galleries on my site http://www.moparuk.co.uk/storysofar/story_so_far.html

Yeah happy days Kev, but heaven knows I'm miserable now. Must go listen to some more Radiohead. There still lurks the video evidence of those battles, slow as they were by some people's standard, but I got that big boat down to 14.9 with a 318, you were in the 14.7s then....till you dissapeared off into the 11's

Big blocks struggle to do that! the BOSS 429 was a 15 second quarter! so you should be happy with that Dave

Hmm, happy with it

that's why I was building a killer 383 to whip Kev's arse Tony, he was lucky though as I had to abandon it.

Hello and welcome.

I like that a lot. Just as intended.
