Continuation from motors chat round 3

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

Starting to get excited about the idea of a new car, should be able to save plenty by September/October when I'll have my first year NCB.

Interesting, never thought about it being the main car alright, could be a problem.
Best thing is to give them all a call I suppose.

With axa my dad doesn't have a main car

Probably going to need a 15 year old car Voodoo. Also you need to have another policy on another ''daily driver'' in your own name too AFAIK.

Question for yas regarding classic insurance.

My car will be 14 years old in January when my insurance is up for renewal, would anyone offer me a classic policy on it? (Mileage is about 7-8k miles a year).

Best to talk to AXA, but I think it is for over 15 years though but I'm not sure. Talk to Myles O'Reilly in Axa he'll tell you whats what. (he's a friends dad/family friend

)

Well as i type this on my bed I can see the ATC tower in Cork :pac:
Ive always been fascinated by planes thanks to my dad, then theres the ww2 side of it (i must own a DC-3 Skytrain) and the fact that at the end of the day they are teaching you to fly! And fly a Pilatus pc-9m in particular
I had to be measured twice at the fitness test last week, scraped in 2nd time by not standing so proud by half a cm

Im being realistic, its still very much a pipe dream, but at least its good practice for the Army and Navy stages

Good call on removing the high heels tbh

Best of luck Ardennes... I hope it goes your way. My own visual acuity is not quite up to the AC standard but well within class 1 aeromedical standards. Some day!

The standard of eyesight is not as high as it was once. If it can be corrected by glasses it usual will be ok. Colour vision is very important though. A surprise amount of people are colour blind to certain shades if red and green and would go through their whole life with knowing until it tested.

Who?! :pac:
My eye sight is the one thing that might catch me out too.
Had the interview yesterday, absolutely flew it. Searched out for a current cadet and found one, met up with him for 2hours a few days ago and he gave me some great advice. He said you know you're doing well if they start asking obscure questions... They asked me how the pressurisation system works in a jet and how a digital camera works :pac: I knew every single detail about every aircraft in their fleet, including those from 70years ago and when they finally got me on a question they just laughed and said "ah we were wondering just how much you know"
It's amazing how fun studying is when you're learning something interesting!

There's on of us in the process of joining the Air Corps

I did some hours in the Cessna 150 in Birr aka "the Crow". That aircraft was involved in an accident last year. I just read on RTE that there was another incident today near Birr. 2 minor injuries.

My Uncle was IFR night rated so used to go on some great trips with him when I was a young lad.

My long term ambition when I was 16 was to Join the Air Corps/RAF after school. Kinda annoyed to find out that my eyesight wasn't up to scratch.

I was in the 2 seated Cessna 152. Very nice little aircraft. I got to fly and land the thing. Did a few manoeuvres too which was fun.

I've spent the evening trying to convince myself that I NEED a pilots license

What were you flying- one of the training aircraft in Weston?

Flying is addictive- an expense addiction at that.

It only takes 2 things to fly: airspeed and money!
