Pubs are great here but how many will survive due to Covid-19 I'm not too sure. BTW, why were you testing a Ferrari at Thruxton? A very open and exposed track, I don't like it.. |

It wasn't a "test". It was organised track day "experience" like this crowd offers : https://thruxtonracing.co.uk/experiences That was when I lost interest in really fast cars. I've made mention of this before.

A word I learned last year that was very educational: diphalia.
Probably weirder than imperforate anus that I had learned about a few years ago.

Stainless steel is corrosion resistant, not corrosion proof. It is corrosion proof because an oxide layer forms on the surface so that oxygen can not react with it. Stainless parts are prone to "free iron" in the surface which can cause surface corrosion and propagate more corrosion under the oxide layer. The "free iron" can be dissolved with citric or nitric(I think) acid and then neutralized to provide a better and more pure oxide layer.
Same thing happens when you anodize aluminum. It forms an non-reactive oxide layer protecting the aluminum underneath.

Of course I had to research that. The brief written description was enough; I certainly didn't need to see the picture.
