Hi all,
I noticed on a recent trip to Brisbane a Porsche Cayenne tooling down the freeway with the numberplate "AIRBUS".

So, my question is... was that an Airbus rep, a pilot of a non Boeing, or a sad wannabe.

I have a picture but not sure if it should be put on the web...

an additional question is what do you pilot types think of such stuff?

I have initials and a number on mine. If someone wants to put AIRBUS on theirs so be it. An Airbus pilot is my tip.

I would rather put up with a few comments from LOSER DICK HEADS than upset my loverly wife by not using the gift she gave me.

I would be more worried about someone who would buy a Porsche Cayenne being in any way responsible for an aircraft, especially a french chainsaw.

No, not my car. I wouldn't be seen dead driving a Ford **spit** :} But a friend snapped the shot in N.Z. (Thanx Scotty B);)

Glad they have a sense of humour over there, too:ok:

How about the Queensland plates I saw yesterday? "JET 777"
talk about a slick looking "dude" and the way he outran our crewbus was nothing short of spectacular.

Those of you that suspected the driver of that Porsche Cayenne seen in Brisbane roaming around was an Airbus driver are correct although it could have be his wife doing a sprint!! to the local shops:)

I've seen the mentioned vehicle pulling into a magnificent house down at the reef in Brisvegas!

Very nice!

Hey howie...didn't realise that they cost that much back in Oz...whilst not exactly cheap, they are pretty much dime a dozen in the sandpit.

15 of them in our compound alone...

The guys that bought YPJT should get new car plates:

GOTRIPPED

and

BEENBUGGED

from what I am hearing of their latest advances on the "development" of another airport in Perth, I would suggest that 2007 is going to be a better year...couldn't be worse for them!:E
