I worry about my wife?

Postby GarethB » Sat 16 Sep 2006 9:35 am

My dear lady has just shown me an e-mail she got asking if she would like to buy/lease one or both of the following aircraft;


For charters or long lease programs Antonov-26 with TCAS on ACMI
conditions.
Aircraft is located in Nikolaev (Ukraine).

My wife thinks this Illusion will make a good summer house!

For sale (1200000 USD) or long lease programs the aircraft Ilyushin
-76TD year of manufacture 1985, with TCAS and EGPWS on ACMI
conditions.

At least with the Illusion water bomber I will beat anyone when it came to a water fight :twisted:

The Antanov will give me plenty of room for my current hoard of cars and allow for some expansion of the collection :lol:

She thinks the planes will fit where the apple tree is which leads me to conclude she is completly nuts :shock:

Whats the strangest thing you or your partner has been asked to buy?

When I decided to look up information on a keratron topographer, google informed me there was one for sale on e-bay.

I has a high reserve but still, could prove cost effectifve in the long term!

The strangest thing we have ever been asked to buy was when my 7 year old asked for a mobile phone!!!

We said NO.

Then i went on about how quickly they grow up these days, and sounded just like my MUM!!! :lol:

I actually have my eye on a 1993 Mercedes which is up for sale at €1000000 :D

Unfortunatly I did not win the lottery, so that is on the back burner too :(

I think the Mercedes is more practical than the Antanov! The plane does have a lot of space (understatement). How cool would it be to convert it into a house as you said. It would be brilliant, I love it. I think your poor dog might be a bit confused though?

Matthew,

You might want to rethink the Mercedes practicality.

This is the luggage space;

This is one of 25 cars ever made and the price is now €990,000.

I might be able to afford it if the price comes down another €980,000 :lol:

Gareth,
If you could afford this car, why would you need luggage?

Matthew,

If I did win the lottery and purchased the car, I would need some luggage space as I fear I would end up living in it :lol:
