Hmmm, funny. As I remember it, you were offered the pilots seat and declined.

Something about finding boys bums attractive.......?

You're nowhere near man enough for the flaming lawn mower, fool.

I'd done two long rolling burnouts on it then when i locked up the back wheel and slid it sideways it popped not off the bead but popped the tire. then the rest happened really quick! I've learnt a thing or two about this sort of stuff and can normaly tell when a tire is about to pop but with the slick it was a little different!

Oh and i'll always chase you!!

Or, some Jet Blast.....

Or a pound of glass rivets for the windscreen.

Then there are those really cool jobs like:
Wing walker on the Iroquois....
Tail Gunner in the Skyhawk....

Or, I change the light bulbs in the Cats Eyes..... you can get a lot of mileage out of that one ;)
