1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I am sorry you had a lousy work day, but with those outside the window, I have a lot of trouble working up a LOT of sympathy for your plight! :D

May I dare to suggest a '68 'vette with rocket assisted take off would beat the pants of any of them? :mrgreen:

Just imagine how much fun it must be, to be stuck in a stationary traffic jam, going nowhere, on the M1 motorway.....(or anywhere else!)...in one of those!.... ;) ...!

How embarrassing!... :oops: ....!

Nice to look at, tho'.... ;) ...!

Getting fuel into them would be the least of his worried. I don't know what the octane level of the fuel was, but the exhaust, the smell was very overpowering and made me feel sick.........and I was out in the fresh air in the middle of an airfield...... :shock:

The mechanics are obviously under strict orders, but they still had some fun as they drove them back up the taxiway to be put to bed. A quick blip of the throttle to get the back end to twitch or to leave a nice set of rubber marks behind...........If I was them I know I would too O0 Also There was only one test driver and he was driven off in a minibus after his hard hour of driving three Gallardo's up an down the taxiway doing acceloration tests....:roll: :lol: :lol:

I suppose, with the engine at the back, you put the shopping in the front, under the bonnet/hood?... :roll: ...!

It would be a right rigmarole trying to get it in and out of Sainsbury's car park!.... :shock: ....!

At least with your old Allegro, being publically humiliated by getting beached on speed bumps in Sainsbury's car park is not very likely..... :lol: :lol:

I've told you Trans-Atlantic types before - it's all very well having you 9.8L V8s taking up half the chassis and using half of the Saudi oil reserves to get from 0-60, but as soon as you get to a corner you find yourselves wrapped around the nearest tree! :lol:
