Another illustration picking out the star car... except the Charger's the badass ride really right? 

Good Old Boys

Get a glass of milk and lie down in front of the telly... here's every jump from the Dukes of Hazard series 1-6. Or should I say every take-off, there's a distinct lack of landings for some reason *hmmmm*. A few of these are serious air though, there'll have been some sore necks to go with those properly knackered Chargers.

Mashed Swede

Anyone who's spent any time round these parts will know of my enthusiasm for the Swedes... that 50 - 50 blend of hip urban chic, and, well redneckery. This isn't gonna change any opinions soon. Will a Viper mill fit in a SAAB? Hell yeah!

UPDATE:

Moonrunners

Can't believe I've not heard of this one before...

In the 1975 movie Moonrunners Waylon Jennings narrates the tale of two cousins who run moonshine for their uncle Jesse. They're often chased by a policeman named Rosco Coltrane and fight against an evil county boss named Jake Rainey who Uncle Jesse calls “hog”. Does any of this sound familiar?

If you needed any more clues in the movie the boys race a stock car named Traveler, which was what General Robert E Lee named his horse during the Civil War.

Apparently it's not so great a movie (who knew?) but I have the strangest inkling from this clip that I'd rather like it... B-body Dodges rolling through the corners like Blenheim Palace cornering hard to a Mopar thrum. I also love two things in the clip that link it inextricably with 80's TV; squealing tyres on gravel roads and the most ridiculously obvious 'day for night' shots ever.

70 Dodge Challenger on Autobahn

I don't have much info about this clip, but all you really need to know that is that it's a 1970 Dodge Challenger with the hammer down on the Autobahn. No info about how stock it is, but even taking into account an optimistic speedo an indicated 140mph must be pretty exciting in a 40 year old motor, from a time when handling was a little more, ah, lively. If its on OE running gear then the driver has got some balls.

Check out the sound, utterly fantastic, some V8s are at their best tearing towards the redline but I like this best in the low speed manoeuvres... gorgeous.
