Will the Charger make it to Aberdeen?

Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

Moderators: jifflemon, coyote1980, Rachel

Will she make it like a true Charger always has?

Your right and you should have made yourself known!

Yes we both made it back safe and sound. Left Chatteris at around 10:20 and arrived home at around 19:45. Made three stops, One for fuel and oil in peterborough, one in scotch corner and one somewhere after the forth bridge. Anyway, the money shots...



Thats the charger fresh from its journey this morning, dead flies n all!
Nice One, Was looking good ;) I would have said ello but you were not at a standstill and I can imagine waving like an idiot and half of Union street thinking I was a wierdo ! :lol:

Having realised its less than a month to the meet, the plan is to fix the leak before the meet (all being well) then i've got the whole winter to plan and source parts. :D
Which reminds me, i'll drop you a pm ;)

@ Rach It did yes,it was uncertain whether the car would make it or not,which was my point....

The fact that the box was just at its early stages of slipping (due to no Lubegard for last 5k;-)),made it an uncertain journey.

Just a bit of fun and interest that was all.

Now stop post dissing bitch!

:D

Lubeguard had nothing to do with it mate. You been putting nice new ATF in it for ages now so I really don't agree with your lubegard.

The gearbox was just fed up being treated so well and wanted to have it hardcore cause your gay and lube yourself with your pubeguard each morning it never had the awful life of Vader.

Now my autobox took 225 with a massive amount of torque and loved it then OD on the torque unlike your pansy slipping box :lol:

Now bitch on that Steve!!!!

It had everything to do with it you marmite smearing Pole merchant!!

One of the things Lubegard has been proven to do is stop boxes slipping,uneducated Milfus!

If Roo put some in now,I bet it would stop slipping.


Maybe I could start a poll for this too,nah thatd be silly talk!
