Just been out in my SIII. Found a ford thats only about 5 miles from my house that never knew was there

Its not mud but its still fun
Can load pictures here as too big but was the best under body wash the money pits had in a while

just found the image resizer who ever put that in should be heaped in praise

Its well worth the detour
Its a quite posh area too most of the houses along there you wont touch for under a million
Theres an open invite to anyone in the area for tea and biscuits at my house - its only about 4 miles away just give me a little warning so can make space outside to park
