Hi all, I'm trying to find out how aerodynamic a mini is (and hopefully clubbys, vans, mokes etc). This is a site I found but I can't get it to accept my file :? http://chernyshenko.sesnet.soton.ac.uk/FIHome.htm

Have any of yous come across or have any charts on this and can anyone get the site to work for them?

I know flow rate with a Mini is crap but this would be interesting. But I saved the pic as a Bitmap and didnt work :twisted:
Think the pic may need to be turned around also

When you save the picture on your computer you need to change the image type in the box under the file name...
