Temperature of the sun!

[skeeter]

Why do scientists spend £m to calculate things like the surface temperature of the sun? I have worked out a much simpler experiment;

 

1) Drive OSF to work

2) Park in the car park, making sure you don't park in any shade what so ever

3) Leave car all day

4) Return to car after long day at work

5) Open door and get in

6) Touch vinyl seats or arm rest or metal spokes on steering wheel

7) Experience the temperature of the sun on your skin!!!

 

I used to think better brakes were the biggest advance in cars compared to the OSF, now I know better; it is air con!

You have air con, roll your window down

Even with the windows down doing 60-70 mph down the m1 from Santa pod yesterday still didn't cool down much...

Would love air con in the RS

I have aircon in the daily but never use it .... I much prefer driving with the windows down

[mk2 mike]

I've not once used the aircon in my Beemer either. I'd live a proper sunroof in the mk2 though

Driving back from pod yesterday, window down i realised it dont buffet(spelling???) at all like a modern day car does, main reason i use AC on daily over windows.

 

Could get one of these tho, like a BUG at the pod

I have a full length panoramic roof in my BMW but hardly ever use it as the dual zone climate control is superb. I can't say I'd want a sunroof in the escort though, especially not one of those 80's microwave doors.

No I don't fancy the glass roofs held in with bathroom sealant either. I did see a mk2 with a proper metal sunroof grafted from a capri in it at the last Essex osf meet. Looked the business.

Have air con in both my van and daily and use it alot but still have window open quite often for fresh ...

Just like the ice cold air from the ac blowing on me lol

The Thermador wouldn't be much help in our country due to the air being very damp anyway as they run water in them that the air passes through an pushes damp air inside your car. The evaporation process makes it cooler inside. Wet inside your car!!! In this country that's what we fight against anyways.

They do look fooking cool tho

I made one a while ago as they are around £300-400

[skeeter]

I had the window open (and arm on the sill) but still, when I got home the back of my shirt was very wet - a long time since I had to contend with that.

 

Lesson for tomorrow, work out where the shade will be in the afternoon and park there.

easy way to get aircon in any car or home.....get a wetish towel and put it across a open window or fan....has the wind blows through the towel,it blows cold =aircon.....simple

And a propa good job he'd made of fitting that steel sunroof too eh
