At that price, they are giving it away. Residuals on them are horrible, they must be losing thousand per car.

I know that had FIAT 500E’s in California for $99 per month - at that price I’d buy one just to go to work and back. $230 for an i3 is a sweet deal - I would drive one in a heartbeat if only it was large enough for 4 adults and 2 big dogs.

Same here!! Never bothered submitting anything, but this is one car that matched his requirements that popped on my mind right away. I'd love to own one, but I am sure I'll never pull the trigger on an old, used British premium car. Doug must be a glutton for punishment - second high end British car for him..

I spread nutella on a tortilla, stick a banana in there and wrap it up, fry it in a pan with some non-stick spray, and when done, roll in sugar and cinnamon. Serve with some ice cream, and it is delicious! I’ll have to try the spring roll version too.

This whole article is about it?

OK, I understand that. But that can be mitigated in so many ways - elevation, additional networked radar units, and my point still stands - Syria is not that large.

Because it is closer to fly over than all the way around - read the article and see their flight paths

I am not implying that there would ever shoot at a coalition plane - the article is implying that the coalition is afraid of that and that they are flying circles around Latakia because of that.

Well, it has a tracking range of 600km - enough to reach neighboring countries. I am not saying that it would shoot every bird if it tried to get away and if it was 300km away when fired - but those pilots might have brown pants upon landing.

Of course, I don’t deny any of that - the OP just makes it sound like a plane has to fly over the freaking system before it is in danger, I am simply pointing the size of Syria and the (somewhat) effective range of S400

Well, I am pretty sure that people interested in buying stuff like that don’t really visit these sites to look for opinions and advertising.

Do you know how much weapons Russia exports every year? Second largest exporter in the world probably close to 15 billion dollars these days.

What kind of a dumb question is that? What in my post implies that? DO you seriously think that earth curvature over 400 kilometers would stop a S400 from going after a plane?

Top speed of S400 is some 9 times higher than the top speed of an F18 or 7-8 times higher that the top speed of F22. Not much can outrun it - it will go from Latakia to far east end of Syria in 80 seconds or so.

No no, based on these articles, only Russia does that, and the coalition is doing this for world peace only.

You also make it sound that coalition planes have to fly right over an s400 installation in order to be vulnerable. Based on the size of Syria and 400km+ range of S400, they are technically not safe anywhere over Syria.

I wouldn’t pay this much for it even it it was the last know example of a 914 in the world.

Over Powered - gaming term

Well, it's not like anyone will go and buy a car based on Tavarish advice anyway, so we are safe ;)

Had two Outbacks - far from a good drivers car.
