Way more comfortable than the old school trolleys but in terms of comfort it gets beaten by modern Hi-rails but it certainly has the cool factor

Nice. Do you remember what the aircraft rego was (vh-sonething)? Or mind telling me who the company was? And whereabouts was that taken?

I don't have the best stomach, so was a bit nervous went up for a pc-9 ride. Did OK for the wingovers, loops wee not a problem, and even handled the tailslide. But when we did a 360 deg aileron roll, that was the end of me!

Yeah i handled it all pretty well he did a few tricks, but the cuban 8 man that was something else. Being upside down in an airplane really is amazing.

This picture could be mistaken for being circa 2016, except for the Euro bucket next to it and the fact it was taken today.

My local dealer kept a Winter White FGX XR8 in the showroom for years as well, I think it was the dealer principles car. Not sure if it was sold in the end or was put into storage.

What a depressing view, rows and rows of FG Falcon's with no home to go to. Going by the two XR50's in Sunburst, this would have been circa 2010.

Went out to Fitzroy Island earlier in the week with my daughter for a snorkel and some sight seeing. Nice of them to provide me with my own bar!

Pity I couldn't tell everyone else to go away like it was mine

That’s the male of the car species to the left, as the one on the right is showing a bit of leg it’s presumably the female.
