Freewheel,
It was then that I realised just how crap my first car was. Heating didnt really work, no aircon, that quaint manual choke, manual window winders etc. along with really useful stuff like having dust settle on the rear window on dirt roads and require manual removal. The headlights didnt have to have drain holes to let water out. I didn't have to consider parking on a slope in case I needed to clutch start it etc.
I think I may have bought it.....
Why should we accept helicopters with the same shortcomings? - I don't think we do. Not at the same time as accepting the price. But you can't compare cars to helicopters there is a massive economy of scale difference. I would love my students to fly the 109 instead of the 22, but they all turn a nasty shade of white when I tell them the cost
