What cfh said.

Fabulous. Can't say I expect any of the last few generations of IACC class boats to last a tenth as well.

I'd like to watch the North Sea carving the Dover Straight at max flow.

And who wouldn't want to go back in time to be the first to type "26" wheels" on this thread?

MDMA. Opium. Cocaine. LSD.

In pure, undiluted, from source form.

Legal distribution of 100% pure narcotics would be a fine apocalypse.

I'll see if I can arrange for you to replace Gus Grissom.

Brigitte Bardot.

Otherwise something similar to what molgrips said, the UK before all the trees got chopped down to make ships or power the industrial revolution. But with a modern MTB to scoot around on.

I left out:

The current use of some late '90s "trade connections" which are now estranged.

Screaming around in a Mk 1 Escort rs 1600, whilst sporting a 'tache, mirrored aviator sunglasses, and real leather jacket with real fur collar, with Sabbath on the cassette player.

26 wheels - all at the same time, on one bike. Has anyone had that one yet in this thread?

Victorian England and the chance to tramp around the globe doing perilous things for nothing more than an entry in the history books.

Having read "A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush", I'd like to have been able to do something like that. I still could I guess, but not with the same level of epic discovery.

Another vote for England about 1000 years ago. Maybe even 2000 - Roman times up on High Street and Hadrians Wall, the Roman cities of Londinium, Deva (Chester) and Eboracum (York).

But with a nice full sus to get me about, I reckon those Roman roads would be murder on a road bike...

Oh and the slightly more recent past: Queen, live at Wembley. Was too young/didn't know about them the first time round!

Sitting in the jump seat on an airliner for landing. I asked once when I was sitting upstairs on a 747 (back in the days when work paid for such things when flying transatlantic, which was of course also before 9/11), got told very apologetically that they'd got an extra crew member on board who was sitting there, but just ask again next time...

Fly a Spitfire, preferably a Mk IX.

Have another go in a pristine, Mk 2 Golf 16v.

And another go at all of the sex I missed out on during my teens.

1. Concorde - and I used to fly 747's to US instead because it was cheaper, thinking one day (the company I worked for paid the flights)

2. The female university rowing club. I had one success but wish I had aimed for the rest of the team too. Enough said

I've been lucky enough to have done this on a sabena f27 into Brussels. It was as exciting as it was terrifying. Exciting for the obvious reasons, terrifying because you get to see how rickety, flimsy and generally knackered civil aircraft are: PF's instruments had all frozen up so he was using the NFP's gauges; landing checklist was a series of hinged flaps with different tasks written on them. PF would just flip easy one down as they were completed, except in the turbulence they would randomly fall down of their own accord meaning the pilot would have to flip them back up; can distinctly remember the gear down indicators didn't. 😯
