Yeah, if one doesn't need to look pretty (aka no "helmet head") or be dry (i.e. not sweaty and soaked) on the other end, then a hot ride can be bearable or even enjoyable.Gone in 60_imp said:

And if you like the really early stuff (WW1 and earlier) there is The Shuttleworth Collection in Bedfordshire. A CB1100 with a Sopwith Camel. What could be better?

Indeed. I love that the English have preserved these old fields and bring out their restored planes, cars and military vehicles. Great fun.

About 20 years ago, I was with 3 buddies heading to Florida to golf via a stop in Washington DC. We accidentally exited at Langley and decided to see if they had tours of CIA Headquarters. The guard said "Umm... this is CIA Headquarters. We don't give tours here" Of course we felt like idiots.Gone in 60_imp said:
The interesting thing was that they opened the gate so we could turn around to exit.
The other interesting thing was that I was video taping most of the drive with my Sony Handycam and got nauseous from doing that while driving....and that came to a head while exiting CIA Headquarters. My buddy stopped the car and I threw up about 500 feet outside the fence line...within sight of the guard that we just talked to.

Gee, EmptySea, either you’re in a prison somewhere making stuff up and the Ferret is part of a massive hoax, or you were lucky to get away with it.

Been there
I'm all for a ....challenging....challenge...but I'm a pilot and I'd be...challenged....to come up with this photo. Hoping that ferret wins this one so that we can get graded on a curve again! Otherwise next month it'll be a photo of your bike being chased by a three legged dog on Wednesday, and the dog needs to occupy exactly 1/3 of the photo in the horizontal direction and the fact that it's Wednesday needs to be clearly conveyed in the photo

Another Mustang! Is that a P-40 Flying Tiger behind it? Nice ride to a great place.

Not an expert on WWII aircraft, but I do think it’s a P-40 in the background. We didn’t have time to visit the museum. We will go back for that, though.

I was on the way to work today when I took the picture earlier, so I didn’t have much time to elaborate.
The picture is in the parking lot of the Proud Bird restaurant, located on Aviation Blvd, which makes the Eastern border of Los Angeles Airport (LAX). It’s got an aviation theme, and planes landing fly right over it.
Back in my advertising days, when we had high dollar clients come to town, we’d take them there right from the airport. This was in the days of lavish expense accounts…
It closed a while back, but I had heard that it reopened, so I stopped to check it out on the way to the museum this morning.
The picture with the fence in the background is the other side of Aviation Blvd. You’ve seen it in the movies… in every 80s and 90s Brian De Palma film set in L.A., there’s an obligatory shot of an airliner touching down into a sunset, on the other side of this fence.
