Washed mine twice, still not clean, and I haven’t even started on the interior yet,
I think the sand will never disappear.
It was a fantastic day, and it will linger on especially in my flooded fog light and indicator.
All I need now is to fined another side step lol

Haven't cleaned mine and being honest I like the look of it dirty. Not only that but it's used as a parts chaser/back up for my recovery truck so will look minging again in no time anyway. I'll try and make an effort at the weekend though!

Excellent pics and videos guys. Really sorry I couldn't make it :( Hopefully there will be another event or some green laning soon.

Always make sure after playing off road that all road lights and both number plates are clear of mud. The police don't like it and is an offence. I nearly got done in an old Lada Niva

i think he means that when he checked the oil he noticed that the engine was all red from the mud, not that the oil was red....

Your English is spot on mate .......it's me not concentrating properly :oops:

an easy way to clean your engine is to ...put your finger over the end of a hose pipe thus creating a "soft jet" ....be carefull aroud the electrics though
