The RS Turbo/not for insurance comments, see Ins Section

the water droplets look glittery lol

nobody cares lol

Its a ford.... Say no more

i'm very sorry, i didnt realise you wanted a discussion about the glittery effect of water droplets.

did you know a small droplet (20um) has a fogbow but a larger droplet (1mm) has a rainbow. fog has small droplets so it doesnt create rainbows, your car has big droplets so you get all sorts of pretty colours. yay.

Taking the rainbow effect into greater detail you find that it is caused by a prism effect of the water droplets. By breaking the white light generated by the sun naturally into its component colours ranging from both ends of the invisible spectrum thru the visible. you get everything in between infra red and ultra violet.

Light changes speed as it moves from one medium to another (for example, from air into the water of the droplet). This speed-change causes light striking the boundary between two media at an angle to be refracted and enter the new medium at a different angle (Huyghens principle), or to be reflected away from it. The amount of reflected light and the degree of bending of the light's path will depend on the angle that the incident beam of light makes with the surface, and on the ratio between the refractive indices of the two media (Snell's law). The refractive index of a medium varies with the wavelength or color of the light used, a phenomenon known as dispersion, and this causes light of different colors to be refracted differently and to leave the prism at different angles, creating an effect similar to a rainbow. This effect can be used to separate a beam of white light into its constituent spectrum of colors.

that's better lol

The RS Will be getting replaced soon

thank goodness someone came to their scenses.

what kind of price you wanting? i'll let a few people know

ermm not sure TBH.

and he's wanting a cossie because he saw how much power you can get out of them fairly easily

i aint complaining

how much is it worth? will have 13 months MOT when sold, not sure on tax, great bodywork, interior is good etc, engine has 75k on it with a new turbo (phase 1 turbo he said)

escort cossie...that is one car you wont get insured on (end of insurance comments!)

Sierra

I like it! Definate old school mk1s are silly money mk2's are more reasonable

we both prefer the mk1 Mmmmmm

had a mk2 1.8 auto back in the days and i loved it, both are smart.
