I'm wondering whether we can improve performance by adding a Higgs Boson Injector. We all know what that would do ........

It definitely wouldn't make as much of a performance improvement as having a smaller sleeker whooshy tube :)

Ah .... but if you injected the Bosons through the smaller sleeker whooshy tube ..... just think what that might do !

If you added a Higgs Boson injector, that would surely give it a stonkin Hadron ?

Would it help if the inside surfaces of the snorkels/trumpets were pimpled, like shark skin? Breaking down the surface tension of the whooshing, squishified air, so it flows faster? That, I believe, is the effect of the 'pimples' on shark skin, enabling them to swim faster.

The one's with pimples go faster because of the natural exuberance of youth.

And injecting bosuns will get you keel hauled unless it's their turn in the barrel.

The whole forum has gone temporarily bonkers. I put it down to the crap weather we've been having and people suffering from cabin fever...

It's the soggy trousers from riding home from work .... 3 days out of 4 this week it's pissed down - even today, pretty nice sunny day until home time .... then wet ride home.

I'm sick of all this bollox, but just glad I've got big noisy snorkels.
No seriously, I love the induction noise on the V60s, (even more than the sound of the race cans) and more of it has to be better.
I already have a fast black Falco anyway so don't need the extra performance!
