Your Favorite Ride with your Favorite Plane

My two mistresses... fortunately the wife approves of both. 

Is that a manual or paddle shifter? I'd like a 458 one day.

It’s e-gear with paddle shift, similar to the F1 transmission that Ferrari offers. I was looking at 458’s as well. They are gorgeous! Opted for this because it has a Heffner twin turbo kit.

My turn to share.    All three of my girls in one picture.  (The wife is in the passenger seat of the car. )

My Infiniti Q60 Red Sport and my 67F. Always look forward to driving both of them!

When people ask me what kind of plane is a Mooney, I describe it as a Porsche with wings! I love Mooney’s and Porsche’s.

I get charged up about both my rides.

Looks like your Porsche already has wings!

I think of my M20F as my Camaro with wings...

I also think I am one lucky guy!

Well... if you’ve got too many, I’d happily take that ‘Vette off your hands

I’ve already had my share of vetted.  I’ll take the Tiger.

Gixxer is geared down since Road America was the only track where I needed the top gear.  So it is currently only good for around 165mph

Ducati has no windscreen so its top speed depends on how well I can hold on (not tested)

M40i gets to the grocery store fast, don't know about the top end.  

 

Mooney wins on all accounts

Ok I’ll bite!  Love the various Porsche pics...some day!

and of course Nothing beats a Triumph!  Here’s my favorite ride along with my favorite airplane(s):

So which airplane is your favourite, eh?

My classic vehicle collection.  The jeep is a 1948 Willy's CJ2A with the "Go Devil" flat head engine that produces that sound of freedom you hear in just about every WWII movie.  While both are 4-cyl, the jeep engine has only half the cubes, will run on 65 octane fuel, with V_ne of about 39 KIGS.

You have the original “Side-by-side”. I might have to grab one of those Mahindra Roxor licensed copies; only 15 AMU’s.

Nice. I had a 1947 Willy's CJ2A, but somebody had put an F-head engine from a CJ3 in it.   It wasn't really much different than the flathead, except it had a bulge in the hood for the taller motor.   I did a lot of four-wheeling in it.   It was quite the mule.

Thanks!   Sadly, old CJ2A's went through a period of massive abuse back in the 70's-90's when they were seen as worthless.  I have seen a lot of heavily adulterated examples.  This one is essentially pristine except the electrical system was converted from 6VDC generator to 12VDC alternator/starter.    All the body parts are original and mostly undamaged.   Each one that goes to the scrap yard makes mine more valuable now...
