Message:	I found this article at autospeed.com and thought you might be interested in reading it: 'Aero Testing - Part 1' - Welcome to our wool tuft extravaganza! In this series we're going to carry out some on-the-road aerodynamic testing of a variety of cars: the sort of approach that anyone with a few hours to spare can also do. This week we look at how the technique can be applied and how to interpret some of the results, while next week we launch into action with the first of five cars. Over the next weeks we'll test a 1997 Porsche 993 twin turbo 4WD, a 1991 Lexus LS400, a 1996 Mazda RX7 twin turbo, a 2001 New Beetle, and a 1999 Impreza WRX. We hope that you'll be as fascinated as we are by the story writ in those fluttering bits of wool.... You can read the article at: http://www.autospeed.com/A_108656/cms/article.html
