Re: What do you drive?
 

Ok if you include THat kinda drive then my weekly drive's a Cessna Caravan 208B, 675shp turboprop, Garmin 530/GMX200, dual mode S transponders, McCauley heated prop, full IFR instrument package & deice/anti-ice systems...and a POS Bendix/King "Kentucky Fried Chicken" 150 or 250 autopilot LOL :p (see avatar for picture).

Incredibly they are gonna upgrade us to the G600/1000 EFIS/FMS stuff soon but still leaving the crappy autopilot in!

No problem going up - staying up is where you need to worry.

Re: What do you drive?
 

That's when ya need a Pratt & Whitney PT6-A in there. 2 million+ hours flown in the FedEx system Caravan's alone and only 3 engine failures directly attributed to the engine itself. The most reliable turboprop in the world. It was originally designed as for use as a water pump up in the cold Big White..I kid you not!

I've got a 2005 Mustang V6 and a 2004 Honda Accord.
And two pushbikes.

Re: What do you drive?
 

Hmmm well when I arrive there I will have a 2009 Honda Fit Sport, then there's the ole convertible Mustang (not sure year etc.), a Nissan Centra for a run around and a Forerunner. I'd like to get rid of a couple more but I think managing to get my man to reduce his car count by 3 was a very good start!! :blink:

Re: What do you drive?
 

I forgot to include my 5 (plus one other that needs fixing if it's ever to be ridden again)

Oh heck I used to be a manager for a FBO and have actually been up in a Cessna, never again what an experiance, but I am sure that Tim has a great time I just don't have the stomach for it.

Re: What do you drive?
 

Same here. My husband took me up in one about 10 years ago...I'll stick to planes with 4 jet engines.

Re: What do you drive?
 

The first car I ever owned was a 1975 Chevy Monte Carlo like this one only beige and more rusty...

Re: What do you drive?
 

Has anyone driven one of those Smart cars over here yet? I've seen one or two in this area and they look more dangerous than a Reliant Robin. Swatch Mercedes ART?

Re: What do you drive?
 

What, a Smart car like this?

Re: What do you drive?
 

Now that's more like it!
