how do ya roll?

Alright you lot, what do you drive?

Rental, business, home, fun etc. I know this got touched on a little in other threads. Most of you have such high standards when it comes to flying esp in First and how some airlines First are Business class to other airlines. It would be quite interesting to know purely on the basis of the standards stretch to driving 😉

Me…

Home:Ford Ka Mk1 (used and very battered) to be replaced at some point by a Mini CooperS Convtertable

Business: Mostly cab but sometimes a chauffered exec car or SUV. Once got a ride to LHR in a Ferrari 599 GTO.

Rental: Never + not old enough to rent a car in some places

Ideal car: BMW Z4 or M3 or Range Rover Evoque.

Dream car: Zonda Cinq

For security reasons, I am unable to divulge my normal mode of vehicular transport.

Home: Peugeot 207 automatic

Business: Don’t do business near home

Rental: Whatever I need for the task, but often group A as it’s a waste to drive anything larger

Ideal car: Bradley AFV

Dream car: Piper Saratoga (okay, it’s a plane, but I do have the licence to fly it, there is no point having a dream car on a tiny island – and I sold my aeroplane a few years ago)

Home and business MB E class but soon to be gotten rid off in favour of something cheaper to run. MB service cost for low mileage are shocking.

Hire….
In uk cheapest I can get
In USA a big as I can get…. Just love their 4 WD and the value for money is brilliant.

Dream car Rolls Royce….we’ll you can but dream

FDOS, I flew a PA32-301 RG over the Atlantic to CSE aviation in 1980. I trusted the aircraft after it had only a few hours on the tacho (well the senior pilot did!!)

I recently found a letter in my mothers papers written by my Father to British Embassy in Bonn, dated July 1990. My Father was asking to be allowed to fly his Saratoga along the Berlin Air corridor, transiting the East German zone. Despite his 7000 hours flying experience + IR, the Civil Air Attache could not permit the flight until after unification. Sadly, my Father became ill, shortly afterwards.

I have many happy flying hours in a Piper Saratogo, a very good choice FDOS.
