Went a helped to set up for a firework display yesterday, and the whole place was mud city. I loved it, the car loved it and is now very muddy. Thing is its got its MOT tomorrow at 9.30am, so its gonna be a quick trip to my local sainsburys self-wash nice and early.

Mud was like this is some places

The display was on a farm, and we found an old Hilux in a shed which was a wreck, but we ran it all day towing a cattle trailer to cart the stuff around and it was fantastic, we all loved it, it never missed a beat (although the geartrain was making some odd noises).

Lee is right, they're 'Persus' wheels.

After a quick jet wash this mornin to get rid of most of the crud (at my local sainsburys), it was off to the MOT station, and she's passed:D (big sigh of relief there!)
