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 tbh0 -

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

when you take pictures on an iphone / ipad it takes them whatever way the camera sensor is facing then adds a 'rotation' tag in the exif to tell them what way they should be facing , on the iphone, safari, iphoto and adobe bridge and a lot of other software they come out the right way , but web browsers dont recognise the rotation tag , and unfortunatly holding the iphone the correct way (volume buttons facing up) is actually upside down.
its retarded.0 -

Yeah, could be pub talk for all I know Voodoo but hey, best to give 'em a ring and see what happens.With axa my dad doesn't have a main car
Really? Hmm GTV could be a runner although I have to be over 25 though is it?
Feck it, either way that car is going on the road!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. First paycheck soon eh? Handy enough to save enough now! Bags first spin in the new car... 0 -

Consider getting them lasered? Got mine done nearly 12 years ago, best thing I ever did!Voodoomelon wrote: »Question for yas regarding classic insurance.

Not a hope. Some companies insure exotics (Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, etc.) as a classic at 15 years old but a BMW 7-series is not considered to be exotic
Out of interest, what are you paying in insurance? The last premium I paid for my 735 V8 was about €450 fully comp with limited business use and inclusive of full no claims protection (would have been fully comp for about €320 without business or protection). Classic policy won't be much better than that anyway...My ads on adverts.ie:
Victron stuff for sale, Multiplus-II, Quattro!

That's true- laser is not allowed in the AC.
Speaking of eyesight I wear contact lenses every day. Once of little feckers popped out of my eye on the bus this morning on the way to work... no spares or glasses with me as I rarely have a problem. Had to wait until lunch to pop down to speccysavers to get a spare lense put in.. annoying on a computer when your closing one eye to focus on the screen! All sorted now I can see in both eyes again 0 -

You're way out on this one! First Ireland (Broker, using Chartis) will offer a Classic Policy on a 13year old 7 series (its what Im on), though generally its 14years old+.
I pay EUR503 for:
850CSi E31
740i E38
525i E34
Thats EUR503 for all 3 without normal or "main" car policy (20% increase on premium if you only have classics) on a daily driver. The Chartis policy is really good too.0 -

Yeah, its mental. I keep shouting "Buy a V8, cheap to insure" but everyone reads "TAX is high". 0 -
