Note the use of ice in an icebox (at 3:20 in the video) as part of the water-to-air intercooler.
This should probably go in the "a bit private" thread but last time out, the ice for my intercooler came from Waitrose silly
Hilarious. Only quality ice allowed, you see. And a sprig of mint! biggrin
No sprig of mint. My young assistant forgot to get any biggrin

Fun! And your assistant is even wearing protective kit. Good for her. I imagine she'll remember fondly the work on your "race crew" for many years to come.

Pretty much. My nipper can explain the differences between diesel and petrol, what impact that makes on how it works and performs, and learnt shed loads about mass, inertia and opposing forces at Goodwood last weekend.

He's also getting decent at passing the vaguely requested tools whilst I'm under the car, and blocking swearing from his hearing!

I believe it 100 percent. Applied physics, applied mathematics. A true living laboratory -- nothing merely rote. Where do I sign up! wink
