Hey TW good to see you here mate.
I've joined up here because I love Challengers of course but while C-C.C is dying or slow I'll stick around here...and from then on.


Cheers mate.

Thanks lads for very warm welcomes.


BadStratRT - You are 100% correct my friend!!
In New Zealand we drive on the left side of the road in RHD vehicles.
However, any car that is 20 years old at time of import is exempt, this law was formed in 1987 (I think).

My Challenger is very safe, it is one of the first (if not, THE first) Challenger's in New Zealand.
It was first registered in New Zealand on June 21st, 1971!!!

I have tracked it back and know the first owner was a Canadian Lady.
I have talked over the phone to the French/Canadian owner who brought the car into New Zealand.
He was a Senior Citizen, of old age but still knew the car right down to it's options.



Cheers,
Carl

Welcome and you must be the envy of the island. And we think we get the looks over here when we roll out a sharp car, I can't imagine the response you get when people see you driving that beauty in New Zealand! VERRRRRY NICE!
