Any body got any ideas on this...

Its what happens when you start down a road with a little bit of dirt in the road during a rain shower and then the asphalt ends....

 

Moving thread to the Subaru Forum...

 

I'm sorry, but that is too far gone for any detailing. you will have to purchase a new car now

 

Agreed, its gone to far ... you let it go

Maybe a new paint job

 

Repaint the car in the Toyota color 'Driftwood' as seen on this Prius, and the car will look clean a lot longer.

 

I think I'm gonna be sick....

 

"I'm sorry, but we have diagnosed this car, and came to the conclution that the vehicle is beyond repair."

lol I love the wheels!

 

or maybe

 

Avoid that road at all costs in the future???

Only partially kidding...I have several routes out of my neighborhood to circumnavigate the sprinkler runoff so my wheel arches will stay clean!

 

Too Funny!!! I done some serious washing today to get the bulk off but I still have to wash under the car... The bad part is I was only going 15mph or less... My favorite part was when I started spinning... I just busted out laughing and told my date... "You are witness to me muddin in a MINI".. We had just got done talking about the 4X4 toyotas that we have owned to.

 

This is how it normally looks... at least before the construction zones.

 

WOW, I thought I was the only one! Even in my pick-up I get pissed off if I drive throught run-off. I even carry a spare towel in my truck

That is one good looking Mini!!!

 

I think cleaning up that MINI counts as a stage one weight reduction mod.

 

but i heard he went out and got a 3 scoop on a sugar cone afterwards to
award himself.

 

This is HILARIOUS! I thought that the 'will work for soap' comment was perfect but, when I saw this, my wife had to come from the other room to see what I was laughing at!

I was about to make a comment about how much fun that dirt road drive must have been.

I did a mile and a half on a dust-gravel road (laid the week before) a few weeks ago. The ride was so rough that it shook some already loose bolts off of my rear suspension and I lost a bushing to my rear swaybar.

I drove home and found that the entire boot looked like it had been smoothed over by a VW-tuner who had just found a jumbo can of Bondo! It was too funny! I had to take the air compressor to it to blow it all off before I could bring out the hose!

 

I need to resize some pics from the Dragon... When I was leading the scenic drive around the Smokys, I found a patch of mud on a roadside when pulling over to get the group back together... The back end went a few feet sideways and I got stuck. With about 6-8 people pushing and a lot of spinning of the tires, I got free. When we got back to Fontana, I found mud EVERYWHERE! Even inside the tires!

 

You actually drove towards something that looked like mud?? Someone would have to have me at gunpoint before I'd do that

 

Ahhh... I actually pulled over onto a nice looking grassy side of the road. Because I was the first in the line, I drove into the area that had been shaded all morning and hadn't had a chance to dry out yet!

 

How about some wheel cleaning tips?

 

Very Nice!!

Maybe we need to start a "Unintentional Muddy Mini Club"
