Mr2 Smoke rings, kinda cool!

Post by bazippy »

Nice and cold this morning, as i warmed up mr2 the usual plumes of steam came out the exhausts till it warmed up. as it was warming i kept bliping the throttle and noticed that it was shooting out a ring of steam about 10 feet from the exhausts. it does this when you blip the throttle and it shuts back down to tick over. wondered if anyone elses did this? i might try take a photo of it tomorrow morning if i get the time.
Strange post i know but i thought it was pretty cool.
