Thank god all I got was a dirty car, cripes doing that on a wet public road I would hit something for sure. So for me the wet means driving like a blouse.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because its a live rear axle ute might have something to do with it. wat ever it is its great fun, and it will prob end in tears one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never in a million years.Back on topic though, if it's wet, the TC always stays on and yes it'll still slip a little.←Mate up in QLD at the moment, you cannot use a hose to wash your car. I had salt spray all over the car, a brushless carwash was the better of two evils. Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
