If your a/c were a car what would it be?
 

To make my point, assuming a PA28 Warrior was a Mondeo, a C172 was a Freelander and a Mooney was a BMW, what would your aircraft be if it had four wheels????????

P.S No jokes about Rallyes please!

A 172 as a Freelander? :hmm: ....I guess that makes my spamcan a Suzuki Vitara....sugar....right thats it! I'm off to get a REAL mans plane. I can't be seen anymore in a hair-dresser mobile!

Two seats, closed cockpit, faster than average, corners tightly, goes well uphill and, er, rolls over....

Also, it's French, so I select something like a Renault Alpine A110 (the 60s-70s rally car, not the 1980s plastic fantastic), a car which I would in any event like to get my hands on

Pa28 a Mondeo???? Ever looked under the bonnet (of the 28) - more like a MkII Zodiac. Mind you, it's a 5.3 Litre lump.....

Um... like FNG 'mine' (OK, the club's) is a French 2 seater, just not so exciting. I guess Robin 2120 = Clio, Robin 2160 = Clio 172? Something like that. They've got Va Va Vooom compared to my old PA-28 anyway :)

A 1950's Commer truck.

a/c
 

C152 Aerobat, Skoda.Yuk. :(

Well I drive an Allegro & Marina I'd say they're very c172ish

INVISABLE.. run out of hard earned.. her indoors says WE are having a couple of holidays this year:(
Never mind SHE picked Turkey:D so who know might get my rented Mondeo in the air again;)

Why it would have to be a SPITFIRE :D

Oh dear..... My aircraft is Polish, so that makes it either an FSO or a Polonez. :(

But look on the bright side - all those Yak pilots out there are really driving Ladas!

Well, it's modern, sleek and got lots of power and a nice sporty feel, but not so sporty that it's uncomfortable on long cruises. British heritage. I think it's a Jaguar - probably an XKR. (The XKR is super-charged, my Europa is turbo-charged - close enough.)

Or, to turn the question around, what car do you drive, and what would it's equivalent aircraft be? My Triumph Spitfire would be a Cub - small, noisy, very basic, not particularly comfortable, extremely underpowered - but as soon as you get into it you know that it doesn't matter, because it's just so much fun that you really don't care!

If my aircraft were a car it would be a 5 litre Chimaera

If my car were an aeroplane it would be a Pitts!



Stik

I was thinking what a Pitts would be and decided that a TVR hooli-mobile was the obvious choice but, Stik, isn't your motor a Massey Ferguson?

PS: am launching with the Fledgling from Rochester to Duxford on Saturday. Have told him he has to do all the work whilst I snooze through the Stansted zone.

FFF - the XKR doesn't sound like a milk float, but your aeroplane.... ;) :p

Oooooh Maggioneato.

Your post almost seems designed to ahve singled me out personally. I fly a C150 Aerobat AND drive a Skoda.

However, as my car is a rather pleasant Octavia instead of one of the old rustbucket Commie-mobiles, I will let your comment stand. Pity it isn't the RS though - laugh as you choke on my dust.;)

My (rented) plane (PA-38) would be a Peugeot 106 XND (diesel), seems like a lot of fun until you see almost anything else on the road.

My car would be a Tobago TB10.

Sorry Witchdoctor, you have my sympathy .:D

Cessna grand Caravan.......Range Rover?

RV6.....................................Caterham 7?

TB10...................................Audi A6?

I guess the 152 I use mostimes would be a Fiat Cinquencento with the Aerobat a Fiat Cinquencento Sporting.

The PA38 Traumahawk next to it a SMART. A car you most definately would not want to take for a spin.
