In Europe, the running costs of a twin would put me off.

Overhauling one engine for £28,000 is bad enough. Someone mentioned that a twin costs 4x the running costs of a single, and I really believe that is true.

I'd love a twin of course, but not in Europe. If I lived in the USA I would probably have an old TC'd Seneca which I'd refurbished and re-upholstered, and that would be a good "go places" machine.

But in Europe I'll stick to a single, and my ideal single would be a Super Commander with the engine upgrade to 330 HP
