i did/do occasionally.
as davidlandy says its the mud in the brakes that do the damage,the sites up here dont normally wear pads or wheel bearings but theresa few parts of DC that are a right clay so are very abbbrasive,should come up in april & show us how good your mitsi is :wink:

Australia has massive import duties on foreign cars that the japanese have curcumvented by building KD facilities in these countries. I don't know about the americans but if it's not american it's no good to them. Ever noticed how you can spot the bad guy in a holiwood film? he's driving a foreign car.
Just take a look at how many Series 1 are still on the go in Oz adn you'll soon realise how much tye value them. Tney drive Jap because it's so much cheaper.
And anyway, they don't have to worry about rust :wink:

A lot of time was consumed by the spanish team in their Merc g-wagen: They broke their steel cable 3 times during this section and we had to rerig their winch as a result of this. To add to this, the winch itself was not strong enough to do the job (It was a Warn M8000) and had to be doublerigged several times.
