I'm a qualified Load Master not a pilot tho I can fly and have ground taxi permits for most heavy props. Been a long time since I'v been in a Cessna tho.

Last Cessna I flew accoeding to my logs was a Bird Dog in '98.

ah, very interesting - I guess you would know all the Vne's for many aircraft. Bird Dog is a tandem 2 seater right?

Nice goat John, very nice. The Carger ain't bad either.

Yes Alpha, somehow I think 300 is a little beond VNE for a 172. Beond what it could achive in a vertical dive I suspect. It'd break up first :-)

Col.

Col. did I miss the part when you told us you were a pilot? uttering VNE must be proof of that

actually the 172 Vne is about 308km/hr or so

I have an itch I need scratching - maybe a few

any suggestions? and I don't want to hear quality > quantity - I'll work on quality another time - I want some cheapies to try out

this jobbie is interesting - automatic - really? http://www.cqout.com/item.asp?id=4338411 $50

this too : http://www.cqout.com/item.asp?id=4337186 (greg, can you put a regular strap on this one?) $58

http://www.cqout.com/item.asp?id=4338245 $58

oh never mind, that cal. 36 is quartz...

http://www.cqout.com/item.asp?id=4038635 $38

http://www.cqout.com/item.asp?id=3658443 $38

http://www.cqout.com/item.asp?id=3990243 $39

I know I said I hate quartz but this one has got me weak - so damn cheap - a good work out watch?

http://www.cqout.com/item.asp?id=4296410 $39

http://www.cqout.com/item.asp?id=4294808 $39

the list is long... I have to say I'm curious to see how cheap - cheap can be... greg? input?

another sub, really?

nice pics

I think very few of us here are actually "rich" - the term in itself is relative anyhow but the fact of the matter is smart people simply don't waste money they don't have.

You can buy a good $400 replica of a $10k watch but you can't buy a new $100k exotic car for $4000 or I'd do it

You can though, buy a used Mecedes Benz S class for $17k instead of spending $110k on a new one like I did

Between all my reps and my benz, I spent less than $20k and I'm quite happy with my decisions - the money I save allows me to buy another investment property that will eventually be free and clear ensuring a decent retirement - new cars and expensive gen watches probably wouldn't (there are exceptions to the rule mind you Rock Stars can blow $ as they see fit and still have oodles more come in but even they can't keep blowing it as stardom isn't forever - you'll see many Rock Stars eventually go poor and kill themselves Once the money stops coming in, they lack the discipline to manage it )

Replica watches are just a smart buy - no matter how much $ you have

next time you see that Aston Martin owner, don't be so sure his watch is a gen

greg is my bad conscience and oscar is my good conscience

it's all about balance really

Sorry but the word is antagonism and not "anachronism". I know what I say.

I believe you know what you say but you don't know what you're talking about

my house costs much more but I still buy replica's

not blowing money needlessly allows one to spend on what's important - a $20-30,000 watch for a working man is just silliness - even a $5k watch is unnecessary

where I'm from $100k income/ year after taxes doesn't get you very far - it's definitely not a great idea to blow $ on an expensive gen - especially these days

after all, it's a bloody watch for God sakes - it's a fashionable way to tell time

I always loved that 850 - by far my fav BMW

Here's my 1st sports car 15+ years ago

1989 300ZX

cant' find any good pics - here is a shot of my dog cage and subs in the navi

another Lincoln - this was before the navi - it's a mark VIII

my ride before the Benz - 2001 Navi - black of course

this is where I had 4x12" 800watt subs in with my dog cage beside them, bless her heart

You peeked!

I guess I should've expected that from you.....

no actually, it's peeking at me - disturbs me a little but I can handle it

I prefer this one peeking at me ... whew!

+1 for yoda smilie

my bum looks better than your bum

I sent my Breit SO Heritage to Ruby on September 19th and I got word from her today that she got it (more than a month later) - I already chocked it up as a goner

Hi my friend

I got the watch. I sent it to the factory yesterday. any update, i will email you.

so looks like I'll get my watch after all

I may have to change my avatar then

No decent torque? It's the torque that makes the stock E31 a fire-breathing autobahn cruising monster.

Remove the USA-spec limiter and, well...

the Cessna 172R I fly could start to fall apart at that speed

fastest I've been was 244km/h (300zx) - that is freaky fast breaking 300km/h and passing traffic as if it was parked

bum?

I'm not entirely sure but the HE valve should be past the 11 o'clock on the non chrono as well - I'll have to double check a gen

ET phone home....

pajama party?
