I saw a curtainsider on the M1 with the side guard and wind deflector bent and pushed back. Doesn’t anybody care?

I still think I may have been whooshed but I did a day for stobs over xmas and apparently they’re meant to be like that. Sumat to do with F1 aerodynamics. I double taked the guy and walked off :laughing:

He might have been talking about this.

Thinking aloud…3.5% fuel saving. Annual miles maybe100k ? 9mpg? £5 per gal? So £2,000 saving per annum?? Vehicle life of 5 years?
So assuming no damage or maintenance costs, itll be cost effective at a price of under £10,000. Knock it about on building sites and itll get expensive. Run pure m-way 24hrs itll be a good bet, Id guess.

As always, roughnready guesstimates, adapt and argue as you all wish.
