Your standard sort of online gadget shop, but with a few twists.

For example, you can pick up a lovely L39 Russian Air Force jet for the superb price of £199,999!!

I have a feeling this is a joke, but some of the descriptions and comments are hilarious!!

The L39 is a Russian Air Force jet. Fairly similar to our RAF Hawk which sells at around £5 million, at only £199,999.99 it's a bargain!
Simple to fly, this sporty little number attains jet speeds and has the added attraction of BRI rocket assisted ejection seats for getting rid of annoying back seat drivers. The cockpit is fully air-conditioned as standard and the windscreen is anti-iced for those cold morning starts.

Though its speed from 0-60 is not phenomenal, it'll get you to 16,400 feet in under five minutes, which puts paid to your commuting nightmares (though landing in heavily built-up areas is not advised). For a really good view the L39 can climb up to 36,000 feet. It holds 276 gallons / 1,225 litres of fuel, has a flying time of about two and half hours and a max speed of 435mph. So in top gear you'll get about four miles to the gallon, which doesn't stack up much against your standard saloon for economy, but hey, it's a fighter jet.

The L39 comes painted to your own specification (we advise against Iraqi military colours if flying around the home counties), and with western radios installed - so great for Dolly Parton fans. Any extra avionics would be fitted as extra and all military ordnance would be removed - so no guns, unfortunately.

LOL!

Naa to slow for me

Give me a Mig 29 anytime.
The engines provide a maximum speed of 2,400km/hour at altitude and 1,500km/hour near the ground and the service ceiling is 18,000m. The maximum range at altitude is 1,500km and 700km near the ground.

just wait until they put a huge rear spoiler on the back, then watch them fly!

Tinted windows and a Type-R sticker add a few BHP?

[Punky]

i wouldn't mind a jump-jet thingy, making college parking all the more easy. a stealth bomber would also be nice.
