...the car has had three owners, including the present one, since the swap.

Really? I thought they got rid of them after they completed the tram.

Kind of along the same lines, although not part of the aircraft structure. Great idea in 1960, but they were miserable in practice. Dulles phased out the last of these a few years ago.

Can’t believe you missed this one.

Did you say “totally bodged, thirty year old home-brew wagon from Pittsfield”, Will Robinson?

Say what?

I like the concept but that thing is butt-ugly. If you’re going to do it, do it in style.

From my cold, dead hands.

Reserve twists aren’t all that unusual, not because they’re packed that way but because you’re usually not in a stable position when you hit it (I had three on my way to my D license, for various reasons). This guy was on his back, in a spin, when his RSL pulled the reserve pin. He was well below 3K so he didn’t have…

Controlled by two DMEs that have a habit of disagreeing.

That was the scary part for me - doing the cutaway while in a major spin. Depending on the altitude I would have made sure my RSL was disconnected so I could get stable and clear of the main before hitting the reserve.

Fairly standard line-twist. Not sure why he couldn’t reach above the risers and untwist it, maybe something to do with not wanting to let go of the camera/gun. Scary to have that happen in a down-plane.

Nope. The 840Ci (8 cylinder) was the one to have, especially if you could find one with a stick.

The BMW 850. Absolutely fucking gorgeous body betrayed by bad electrics and a nightmare 12-cylinder engine.

If I want a vintage Porsche, I’ll buy a vintage Porsche. If I want a modern one, I’ll buy a modern one.

Read the fine print. It probably comes with a stipulation that use of the card waives any and all rights to sue VW or seek any further remedies.

Pretty much what I expected.

Nice catch

They sent one here too, although not specifically marketed for the purpose.
