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.
:D

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 (http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=7692&highlight=churchill) for OS ref.
