UltraWomble Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Good luck m9, I do find it odd thinking there are grown up people in this country who haven't flown before. Cue half of Autoshite claiming never to have flown before.Im knocking on the door of 50 and never flown in a commercial plane (I have flown a micro-lite buddy'd up and in a Cessna, but dont think they count really).

Bucketeer Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Ace, the collection thread sensei is back in the game. None of the usual half-arsedness here (ie: picture of breakfast, blurry picture from train window, picture of car, done).I'm going to have to mark you down slightly though for swanking about in an airplane like you're the Sultan of Bombay or Ian Microsoft or whoever. Why anyone would choose to spend an hour and a half on a plane when they could do the same journey in fourteen hours on five different coaches is beyond me.All the very best for the remainder of your mission.

jon928se Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Plane was busy but luckily there was an empty seat next to me. Result. 20190117_085120.jpg 20190117_085435.jpgWhy are you wearing shorts in winter and apparently sitting upside down in your seat? Best way ( but uncomfortable) to this stuff under the dashboard but forwned upon when airborne.

Guest Hooli Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The dedication of traveling that far for a car so dull most people wouldn't buy it off their next door neighbour is impressive. wuvvum, loserone, Shirley Knott and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue half of Autoshite claiming never to have flown before.I am afaid of flying and have only ever flown in a plane with one propellor, but I did get to sit in the front and have a go with the controls which stopped me worrying too much about the whole thing. Not sure if I could still land one without breaking it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 On the road now. Just stopping for lunch, which was kindly provided by Stanky. What a gent. Car is as you'd expect. It's a French Yaris so it's not as good as a JDM one but still lovely. Thanks very much Mr Stanky . That's it from me for a while now. It's six fundred and plenty miles to the north, I've got two packs of gum, it's sunny and I'm wearing women's sunglasses. clayts450, binhoker668, yellowperil and 31 others 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
