Friday Flashback: Chargin’ from Down Under

America and Australia share a lot in common: besides being former British colonies, the people of these nations have an adventurous spirit–just think of the West and the Outback.  That spirit was given a boost in the 1960s when the muscle car quickly gripped Yankee, Canuck, and Aussie drivers.

The brawny atmosphere dithered away here in the US during the ’70s, but it was kept quite alive in the land down under.  Take a look at this TV promo for an Australian Charger, brought back to light from the guys at Top Gear Australia.

Thanks to both Rumblestrip and Banovsky for the videos.  These are frequent acquaintances in the blogosphere and discussion community.
