Florida 2018!

Jay666d · 28-04-2018, 00:15

I eventually made it out here after a long days travel yesterday!

I was meant to pick up a Mustang convertible at the airport, but when I got there they said that they only had one convertible left... A VW Beetle!

Sensing my displeasure, they offered me this...

It's a Dodge Challenger RT (5.7L Hemi V8)

I'll get some better pics in a nicer location soon!

Oh how you’ll have to steuggle on with that substandard vehicle, it’s a hard life isn’t it. Enjoy the holiday.

Oh dear, the sacrifices you have to make.....

Enjoy........

Hope you've got your 24hr emergency back pack with you. We're all expecting another vid.

And to see some smoke coming off the rear tyres of that beast

Enjoy..

Hmmm, VW Beetle and a Dodge? Why am I thinking Bullitt?

Jay666d · 28-04-2018, 20:45

You don't need a 24 hour bag here because Walmart is open 24/7... They sell all the things I had in my bag on one isle!

Today I spent most of the day in the greatest shop there ever has been!

Love that car

Jay666d · 30-04-2018, 00:13

Today I drove... I drove far. Just because.

I think I may do a video about this car....

solarman216 · 30-04-2018, 01:00

I will have my Patrol any day, but enjoy while you can, Rick

Jay666d · 30-04-2018, 04:17

If I could have this 5.7L Hemi in my Patrol... Then I'd be a happy chappy!

macabethiel · 30-04-2018, 09:14

Okay where is it ?

Thomas61 · 30-04-2018, 11:04

Hope you are having a great time out there.
So, how does that car sound then? Is the exhaust system and engine sound proofed to death or does it still have that nice V8 engine burble and slight rawness to it.
