The Choice of the better off too.

During my work travels around the UK Airports,
I have found the following interesting fact.

3 x BMI Pilots drive MG ZT & ZTT's
2 x Britannia Pilots drive Rover 75's
1 x Monarch Pilot drives a Rover 75 Tourer
4 x EasyJet Pilots drive Rover 75's and ZT's.

Not exhaustive at all, I know,
but the salaries paid to these jobs, allowing a wide purchasing choice, show that the car of Choice and Quality is still today a Rover 75 or MG ZT. :xmas-smiley-042:

All now either given or positioned under wipers a Club Leaflet of course.
Some may even already be members.

they could have their own little sub-forum, with threads like "does your drivers seat vertical adjustment permit pilots cap usage?" and "has anyone seen a walnut aviation steering wheel?"

(I'd quite like one of those double handles on my car which, when you pull it backward, would see the bonnet rise into the air at suitable traffic jams... with a suitable run up, of course)

Might be worth mentioning on the PPRuNe forum
