Didn't even think about the quote thing, reflex action, point taken.
I stumbled across a little info on dimpled bike wheels, posted a thread on it, they said they were doing hexagonal dimples and it seemed to be the actual angles which were responsible for the boundary layer tripping.
I would be interested to know a bit more on what effects were coming together to indicate that an object in the 2.5:1 to 4:1 had the best aerodynamic profile regarding ground vehicles?
Like for instance what is the drag of a flat square plate, then using same face extend it to a cube and then rectangle to the appropriate ratio's and beyond, what is actually happening there. Think there was an image of drag for different shapes somewhere, will have a look around.
What's with the Clark Cortez motorhome?
Had a google, looks like the Dryden Van in it's first incarnation as the "shoebox".
