canary Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Orange on the Fairmile kicking up the grit at about 3.30 this afternoon! I was in the red Supersport going the other way. Cold wasn't it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 That was me (I think), in which case it'll be the first time that I've been spotted. I'm a bit confused though because my Seven is red. Maybe it was something to do with Dopler shift. I was heading towards Henley just after the junction to Stonor, and overtaking a tintop when I gave you a wave. I was just doing a few victory laps after my Seven passed its MOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would someone like to estimate the relative velocity? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would someone like to estimate the relative velocity? Jonathan Assuming we were both at the legal maximum a handy speed units converter that I found suggests an approach speed of 1.7894e-7[c]. But that (presumably) assumes that we were in a vacuum, so perhaps 0.1577 [Ma] would be more appropriate.

Member Jonathan Kay Posted April 5, 2013 Member Share Posted April 5, 2013 You can do it without that assumption from the shift in colour... ... where do megayears come into it? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted April 5, 2013 Member Share Posted April 5, 2013 I should have thought of that... the importance of being Ernst! Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canary Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Glad you passed the MOT and sorry about the colour error - the orange tint could have been the haze of grit!! Wasn't it good to get out in the sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
