Just the recent comments about people with cars mate. Not to worry, some interesting machines there. I never got the bug for motorcycles, although I fell off enough when I was younger. I love to build engines, which people think is a bit strange for an engineer with my areas of focus, but building my own race cars and engines was a real passion. It was a bit selfish so I turned my focus to boating and SCUBA diving so I could include my friends more, then my back gave out in a big way costing me 10 years of life.

I'm not certain I'd be too keen on getting a cat to fly. Managing airflow to maintain control would be difficult and the more stuff needed to control it would add more weight, and then you'd need to add more lift and thrust. Just build an Ekranoplane.

I think it would be nice to live aboard a while but my 40" motor cruiser will likely be thirsty and I don't think I can afford all that fuel on a defence disability pension. So once it is done, if I still have the bug I'll be looking at cats so I can sail with much lower expenses.
