PPL yes, but training for rotary wing at the mo 10 hours on r22 a bit of a long ways from a twin turbine 109! The 109 is a dream ship, we will see how life pans out!

who says our toys need to be land based :-)

i think selfbuild rotax is first on the list when we have the time and space

My 4x4 which I bought in July is just amazing for 'trans European' drives ...
yes, it's the new Cayenne Turbo. Like having a 911 on stilts.

If you watch Autocar's video on this machine, you'll appreciate how amazing it drives.

My 996 turbo is now a little redundant .. might give it a P45.

95 Volvo 850 T-5R track car. 2.3 inline 5, 20 valves and a Garrett ball bearing turbo. 430bhp but the sound is the best part.

It's comparable to a 997 turbo from a rolling start because there is no such thing as traction in 1st. :roll: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To23ObPRYbQ
