Re: "These sorts of discussions never cease to amaze me." - you have a very low amazement threshold my friend!
As I said it my post - it was a "pedantic (and perhaps largely academic)" question and no-one has at any point suggested that it is a SENSIBLE thing thing to do - I thing we are all grown up here and the fact that a pilot must at all times make informed and sesnible decisions I would have hoped could be taken as read. I was just trying to clarify a legal point.
By the way, is it true re: Piper Malibu? Why should it be - I know it has a 350 hp turbo-charged high-performance engine, but so do some other SEPs
And where does it say so - it's not mention in any air law docs I have come across (he asks nervously, fearing that someone will jump on his back again for asking a question 
).

Hi Piotr
The requirement was introduced when it transpired that a lot of new owner operators where killing themselves with their newly acquired mounts.
I dont think that people get jumped on here, sometimes however people get a bit of a robust prod.

Rustle: Can you unedit your post? You must have edited that when I was tinkering with mine and my 'puter went belly up in the process. Did your post contain the info on how to get the prize?

All good and very sound advice.
However try not to get caught out by the Certificate of Experience rules as I did last time round. I had – quite wrongly – assumed that the 12 hours (including 1 hour with an instructor) had to be completed in the preceding 24 months instead of the preceding 12 months. Consequently, I had to take a Certificate of Test and some considerable expenses.
Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed the process and as always gain benefit from flying with an instructor and then examiner although I am not prepared to spend the same amount of money this time (equates to about 3 hours solo flying when taking into account the test fee….)

My apologies - I read (into?) your post that the pedantic bit referred to the T'n'Gs counting as T/O&Ls, rather than the C152 time allowing Bonanza time
Ref the Piper Malibu, it is a seperate rating much like the MEP is a seperate rating, and the rule is quite clear that the 3 T/O&L must be in the same type or class of aircraft.

Post re-edited. The prize you can collect anytime you like - it consists of one year of you paying for my flying
