DRY ICE!

Hi

Great idea, the only drawback would be towing a trailer with ice making gear in it. Zooms a good read isnt?

Hi

My dads used to own a newsagent, loved getting all the leftover car mags for nothing.

Those dry ice setups are really for drag cars. I guess the ice would weigh about as much as water, 1kg = 1 litre.

you still need room for a radiator, and even more room for the big alloy box. it probably wouldn't last long enough for a trip down the shops.

It's a trick for dyno shoot-outs or 1/4 mile runs. Not for the street.
