    I wouldn’t buy anything off gumtree except maybe a tradie.

    Certainly not an aircraft.

    Again, another nice pool feature [emoji12]
    and ofcourse way to much work, if you could afford and have a use for it, what airplane would you buy Peter and why , it must have crossed your mind from time to time

    No, it's never crossed my mind.
    I learnt how to fly in a Piper Arrow, Cessna 152, 172, 182R, but wasn't ever tempted to buy any of them.

    I see, I did a few hours in a 152 and a few in a PA 38 tomahawk, the Cessna was more stable than the piper but the piper was a bit more fun for me, I like the view in a low wing aircraft .

    High wings are cooler, shady I guess but I like the view in lower wing stuff

    The best view is DOWN....that's what I want to look at. Good for finding an emergency landing place too, not that I've ever needed one.

    I’ve owned a Cessna 210, a Piper Lance, and an Aerostar.
    All were great in their own way, but the best advice you’ll hear on the subject has already been delivered by Gary. :)

    If I was wealthy I’d consider a Piper Mirage.
    If I was super wealthy I’d buy a PC-12, and if I was get ****ed wealthy I’d buy a PC-24.

    But I’d rather have this than any of them. :D

    I think you'll find Ferrari recommends 10W60 now for Australia....Our winters are extremely mild compared to Europe...It's an interesting subject as I thought the most wear on an engine happens at startup?.....
