My Favourite Australian Car

The Charger


Never owned one
Never driven one
Never been a passenger in one
But love 'em

Valiant Charger VH
The VH Charger was introduced in August 1971. The Charger R/T E49 in June 1972, and Charger E55 340 in October 1972. The lineup in the beginning included the Charger, Charger XL, R/T Charger, and the luxury 770 Charger. Due to the uproar over "Supercar" which were dubbed "bullets on wheels", the VH model also saw the demise of the R/T Charger and their souped up engines.

Valiant Charger CL

The Valiant Charger CL was introduced in October 1976 and only the Charger 770, and a Limited Edition Charger Drifter were offered to the public. The Hemi 215 was discontinued, and due to stricter emission laws, all engines suffered a drop in power and torque. Chrysler Corporation only released figures for the Hemi 265 of 109 kW @4800 rpms and 288 Nm @ 3000 rpms. However, this drop was not as great as the drop suffered by Ford and GMH.

  Story: As the sun set and the world became soaked in a blend of golden and red hues, a dog sat and waited silently for his Leader, reflecting on past battles against foes and mighty wins. The world moved dizzily as noble battles fought in the hidden corners of his soul: despair, hope, and the relentless pursuit of truth. With knowing eyes, the loyal dog stood on guard in an unspoken pact of guardianship and love — a sacred ritual in refusing to admit farewell.  As darkness fell, the dog stood against the backdrop of an ever-changing world. He stood in dignity, a silent sentinel, a guardian of a bygone era etched into his eyes.

Choices and Daily Rituals

  Video: Choices and Daily Rituals Story: I see them daily, following the same routine, saying the same things, and living the same day repeatedly. They take identical pictures and check their reflections on every surface. The world is vast, full of opportunities and choices, but they, like me, wear dark glasses as they go through life. I wish I could shake myself and realise the chances I'm missing, but I'm in a trance, convinced that this narrow path is all there is. Existence keeps moving on, and it pains me that I can't see past the capital waste. We could achieve so much if we didn't sit on the fence and merely comment on each other. But here I am, watching this play with the spectators, where the power to change the script is on the tip of our tongues, yet we decide not to say it. Description: Dive into the profound narrative of life in repetition, where each day mirrors the last. This exploration goes beyond the surface, questioning the comfort of routine and the
