Here's a picture of the Kammback from the inside of the car:

I hoped that I could make both skirts on Saturday, then I could go testing at 4am on Sunday, but the job actually spilled over Sunday and I finally finished on Monday. Hopefully next weekend will be nice and get some testing before our trip.

I've already had a drive with the Kammy on Friday and I could notice the difference in two ways. First, when I would need to decelerate I would put it into neutral only to notice that I was decelerating at a slower pace, so I'd have to use the brakes. Second, I'm so used to P&G that I more or less know when to put it back into gear and accelerate again. With the Kammback, when P&G-ing between 50kph and 70 kph I would get into gear when I though I was down to 50kph, only to find that I was still at above 55kph! Today I will do 50-60km with the wheel skirts so the glide will be even longer

PS. I already have 1200km since fill-up and another 100-200km in the tank. And this was done without any mods

Maybe a 1600km tank is within reach? What about 2000km?

BTW Am I the only person who sees a similarity in shape between a Kammback:

and an old-fashioned nun's cornet?
