I've received the same emails and the last one indicates that whoever it is has made off with our names and our email addresses so best to change our email addresses?

I thought I would start a thread with some pictures of my nitro in and on various cars, I hope this will grow and everyone will share pictures of their paramotors either compacted into a car, or complete in a van or on a car with our various methods of transport.

Hopefully we can learn which van is best, which paramotors fit in which cars.

 

To start off heres a few pics.

This one always makes me chuckle first. My Smart Cabrio is an excellent van

This is brilliant! My business run around is a smart car (solid top, not soft top) and I was thinking of using it to transport the gear. I'm sure a reasonably priced bike rack fitted to the back would do the trick  How do you keep your paramotor secure in the boot?

Thanks Cas, that'd be great. I'm not far from Guildford (Sutton). How often do you get out flying?

Hello everyone!

I have a goal of owning my own paramotor and being able to fly it by the end of 2019! I'm not sure how I'm going to get there right now but I will find a way!!

I live in Surrey with my (very understanding) lovely wife and two wonderful boys. I quit my nice stable job in London last July to start my own property business and have been on a terrifying, exhilarating, cash strapped ride every since and have not looked back. 

I'm a qualified paraglider pilot although I've not been flying for at least 5 years since my wife banned me from flying whilst our kids were very young - probably a good thing!! I've flown mainly on the South Downs and occasionally in Spain and in Montenegro. 

I've been meaning to scratch the paramotor itch for years now, and I've promised my boys that I will take them up in a tandem once I'm suitably trained and experienced. I was driving through the countryside this week between Basingstoke and Newbury on a business trip and something finally clicked as I was admiring the beautiful rolling hills in the early morning misty sunshine and daydreaming that I could be flying over those hills!

So first things first, I need to find £X000 for some lessons and a bit of kit, and I need to dig deep into some research, and find a bunch of friendly flying types for some sage advice (hence why I'm here!). 

Looking forward to the journey!
