Too bad it's not in Bowling Green, KY. You could go to the National Corvette Museum.

That's not quite the same thing -- even though some seems to think their Corvettes are planes.

I meant in addition to, not instead of. And I thought it was Ferrari owners that thought they could fly.

I know you know I knew what you meant -- but even a Volkswagen driver actually took his car to flight: doing @ 70mph, the air caught uinder his car on a high, open elevation curve of the interstate and he went airborn -- straight off the road.

Did he have a JATO strapped to the roof? Roll Eyes

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Ok, this is getting weird. When I first came on a few minutes ago, I had a new PM. I read and responded to it. Did you get my response to your PM Paul? When I went back to the main page, there was another notification of a new message. I went back to User CP and it was the same PM. I checked, and my sent msg was in the sent folder. I went back to the main page and got the notification again, but ignored it that time. Now I just responded to this and when I clicked on Post Message, my response did not show up, but Paul's did. I closed the thread and the Section showed the last post was from me. I came back into the thread and my response still did not show. I'm thinking the V has become haunted. Cheesy

Anyway, my response was, "Did he have a JATO strapped to the roof?" Roll Eyes

OK Paul, here's a trivia question from our era. What BBC (radio) variety show had this closing line - "Ramsbottom and Enoch and me"? I can't remember.

All I remember is huddled around the radio listening to this and other shows. Interesting that Kenneth Horne continued to delight. He and Richard Murdoch had a good one with 'Much binding in the marsh'.

I'm not sure the seat belt was strapped in place but the unintentional jet assist was probably in the driver's pants.
