With any heat from the manifold, very easy to do

i got mine see-through once, could see the turbo shaft and exhaust wheel, manifold was completely white, and the down pipe was white for about 12 inches.

thats what leaving you get when you flat out in 5th for about 10 mins

That's impressive!!
I didn;t get too close, was hot enough just opening the bonnet water temps were showing 3/4 for a while - not surprised with that heat, at least this week a Pro Alloy rad will be returning to me car

Pete, but he did attend the Norfolk meeting twice before, ok once the engine blew up
The other time was a sucess with no problems

BTW, myself and RichardPON both did a 20 McNugget chicked challenge which also consist of eating 20 ketchup portions too - we both managed it - but didn't quite so good afterwards - people remember it well
