We spotted 3 tanks today being transported south bound on the M1.........looked a bit rusty to be worth transporting! Unfortunately I am far too slow with my phone camera and they were gone before I could get pics :(

Good work Bezzabsa.
The General looks great!.
Its one of the joys of driving the slower vehicles.
All sorts of lovelys come crusing by.
There's nothing like hearing a V8 burble rumbling past.

Do ypu mean this one?

I've got the exact map-ref somewhere

Re; the Charger

There's a few replicas in this country (but only 1 original)

There's a 'G' plater in Derby, or was in 2004 (as it featured in 'Classic American')


Edit See this post for OS ref.
