Use whatever you want, I just use a waterproof jacket.
V8s are pretty boring though, if I wanted something fast in a car, I'd rather a 4 cylinder turbo, but otherwise maybe a 2 stroke motorbike, or maybe even a small turbo four stroke.
But really, I don't care much about the rain, it's only water. I prefer not to be weak.

Dirty cars meh, more scrapeing around the edges, or power guzzling electric cars, i go out in the rain in some heavy boots and a jacket because there is usualy no one elce walking to bother me, we dont need cars, let the sun set on car and bike enthusiests and get the youngens walking in the weather, i enjoy the hell out of it, its great, five million people in "clean cars" na, they are boreing tin boxes that we "must drive" that we must get out of the mind set of.

I had a chuckle at our PMs virtue signaling last week. Her and a couple of like minded folk took a diesel train to Huntly, where they are burning more coal every day, so she could take a selfy surrounded by bottled water and other single use plastic items. This is part of her plan regarding the “climate emergency” apparently.

#62 .If she found a cure for cancer you would still find something to complain about.It was a way of Publicising the fact that the service was finally open which it should have been many years ago.

The maintenance on even a small aircraft is somewhat more than the average privately owned car and not a one person job.A totally irrelevant comment.!

Not sure what you mean; (re: #4) the Green Party's excessive air travel is in airliners?

Airliners are proportionately much cheaper to run per hour than light aircraft.

By "proportionately" do you mean per passenger Km?

have been and looked at an electric plane at ardmore and spoke to the developers and engineers involved. they said the biggest problem they had was getting flght duration to cover emergencies ie your destination airfeild is closed due to weather and your nearest alternative site is an hour away. the test plane they had could fly for 2 hours i think they said, and they could not increase that until better batteries came on the market that had aproval for aircraft use.

Both. Cheaper per passenger amount and cheaper per distance travelled too, as they're much faster.
You can rent out a Cessna 152 for say $150 an hour, and you can get a wet lease on an A320 which includes crew for say $2500 an hour.
A320 could take 180 passengers.
Cessna 152 could take one pilot and one passenger.
LOL, I think we might be agreeing with each other!

Yes, however a Cessna 172 is only a little bit more expensive than a 152, maybe $180 an hour for example, and can take a total of four people.

Is she converting it to run on used plastic bottles rather than coal? That would solve five problems at the same time.

Why do people need bottled water, just erect some more water fountains and fix the water, they are safe aslong as you dont suck on the gob piece while you are drinking.

It seems that the AirNZ flying club was cheaper than other flying clubs in NZ.
