Default Ebay!! mad invention mad price!! Focus nosecone

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ford-Focus-Cos...QQcmdZViewItem

fair play to Andy for getting the ££ for it, but fuck me £1000 for a nosecone? Bidder must be minted or dumb ..Can't see that costing anywhere near £1000 to have custom made

That's crazy!

Someone has way too much money! There's not that many mk2 focus' that can get to speeds where this would be effective, and it's hardly easy on the eye.

Unless the local council are in need of a bike/skateboard ramp

It really puts into perspective just how fucking quid Rod's saph is/was

That even dressed like that, the AG car wasnt even close, 10mph out at that distance is a massive gulf.

Just shown it to a friend down south who is studying aerodynamics at uni

and he reckons that would offer no aerodynamical advantages and if anything make it worse

Don't ask me why..because to me a simpleton..it looks as if it would work.. any questions and ill gladly pass his e-mail address onto you
