Don't blame you, Craig. I find the Salisbury mud can be like concrete and it takes me ages to wash it off my 110 each time we do the 'Plain. Si. <This is my name.

Looks almost like mine craig but more clay-ish... Mines 1/2 cow turds 1/2 mud!

I find a good soak and then leaving it 5 mins is the simplest way to get the worst off them a 1/2buck per 4 panels, ie 2 doors and so on as the wool soon gets grubby and the water mucky even double bucketing Sad

I can't comment for Craig, but my own personal experience is that a well-sorted parabolic arrangement can compare very favourably with a coil setup.

Driver ability is another key factor. Si. <This is my name.

The car worked very well indeed, we went with 4 D3's a D4 and a FL2 and i think the Santana held it's own admirably. Even pulling a D3 up one of the grassy muddy hills...

The Santana did most of the day in 2WD only going into 4WD on really slippery hilly sections which really suprised us. Could drive straight and true in 2WD whilst the D3's were slip sliding in terrain modes! Whistle

It felt just as comfortable as my D2 o Whistle ff road which quite suprised me...
