How old is that pickie, look at the contents of the car park


02GF74 - 11/2/09 at 06:16 PM

1982?


rf900rush - 11/2/09 at 06:20 PM

Yep it's old.

Maiden voyage in 1988.

Still have it with only 250hours on the clock.
That equals £40 hour depreciation.

That equals £40 hour depreciation.

AND how much fuel to run? Mine drank fuel like the proverbial fish so I switched to sailing.

The satisfaction, in any size boat, is as good; if not better.

THE beasty boat
THE beasty boat


My Locost boat!!! It only cos me £50 for the boat and donor trailer!! Its 9ft x 4ft!
Restored it last summer and havent had the weather for a maiden voyage yet! But a Johnson 25hp motor should lead to lots of laughs!!

I had several parachutes all of which were fun but the best was a PD 150 a 150sq ft 9 cell which at the time was considered pretty small and fast.


David Jenkins - 11/2/09 at 07:21 PM

A fast parachute - not a concept I would like to test...


rf900rush - 11/2/09 at 07:23 PM

160 litres main tank plus 10litres reserve.

Glad I've not had time to use it for a few years.

Back in the '90s use to cost £50 for a days skying + £20 to tow it there.

Not so bad when you take a group and bend their ears for some contributions..

Had one of these before.
X Bristol race boat. turned like it was on rails.


wish I could find another like it, and convert it into a BEB (bike engined boat)

My toy is in the garage still being built. However I always envied my father's 'toys'. He said one day6s to me that the best time of his life was when he was 20 odd years old and the government gave him a Spitfire to play with. In particular they gave him these ones in the link below.

They also let him play with
Hurricanes
Defiants
Typhoons
Fairey Barracudas
Tiger moths
and a few others

nice collection! never tried one of the "proper" stand up style jetskis but they always look fun! ours is a 3 seater, good for towing inflatables and knee boards


Shamrock GS - 11/2/09 at 10:53 PM

Has to be the Busa - terrifyingly fast and probably the ugliest bike ever made - however its in my garage, its silver and blue and its fab!
