• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Personal rides.

I don't have a singular favorite as a personal ride really. It's whatever suits the flying I'm about to do on that day or whatever I happen to be working on and want to do some flights with it to see how it looks in the air. Right now it's the reworked AlphaSim Phantom using the VC from Tim's T-2 Aircraft. I've repainted it (WIP) to closely resemble the F-4's of the 301st FW of the late 80's. Worked many hours over the years on the Egress System for those birds before we got the F-16's. I have a soft place in my heart for the Phantoms of the 301st/457th.

How much would you ask for it? I drove one here in England around Goodwood and it was a lot of fun but broiling hot - the back of my shirt soaked through in minutes!

Sounds like a severe lack of insulation around the radiator lines that run down the centre of the tub!:redfire:
What would I asking?
Hard to put a rational price on it, five years building time, $A9,000,00 for the paint alone, US$13,000 for the engine and we sort of stopped counting when the other bills topped the A$200,000 mark!
There have been a couple of 'offers' to consider, maybe the most tempting so far is close to A$395,000, but as our 'Pacific Peso' is only buying US$00.70 at the moment that figure looks a bit shabby on a count back.
Of course, it would buy most of parts I need to finish my 911 restoration!
Bloody crap exchange rates!
