I can't seem to find it anywhere (unless it's in the bible..but it's in Hertfordshire, I'm typing this in Delhi..)

I'd be interested to know what difference the fared in lights make!

I have no idea of accuracy but it says 0.4, I assume it's not great. What I do know is that on track they work much better with the roof on.

And windows closed.
There are several stories of roof sections endangering low flying aircraft during an impromptu motorway speed test.eek Never mind the sonic boom created by the section leaving the vehicle alerting every BiB for 10 miles around ears

In fact, only two days ago a story was related to me wherein the roof section was never recovered, even after extensive searching.
Perhaps it entered earth orbit hehe

Mine was never recovered as the inconsiderate traffic in the fast lane of the M6 decided to turn it into dust!
