funny picture showing relative widths of my cars

Hi,
Look at how wide the Miata looks compared to the Midget and then look at the Buick parked above them.
Pretty funny.

No she won't, the miata and midget will fit in the trunk of the buick for winter storage. Having a car like the buick around is shear genious. Its like a bomb shelter for small cars. :D

Also: What is that sticking out in the front left, helicopter blade?

Stephan,
It looks like your plane was a Uirapuru T-23A(military version).

Nope although Uirapurus where used as well as an Air Force training plane.
This one was a Fokker S-12: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_S-12
I also flew the S-11 but is was a bit tricky with the wheel in the rear especially for take-off and landing :shock:
