Getting an E70 Dirty
After a 500km road trip I have certainly come to a couple of conclusions about the car that I was uncertain about after only a week of ownership:
The old and the new.  This mud might not look too bad but it was bloody slippery and really waterlogged.   It was important to switch off the DTC to get proper traction in the slippery stuff.  The gully just behind the car was almost a stream of slosh. Had to get up quite a bit of pace to get through it. I could feel the abs locking up the wheels that had lost traction.  And then this happened. Stuck. The treads were so full of muck the wheels just spinned on the spot. But I was not alone, the Rangie was stuck too. A couple of well placed stones under the wheels and we were out after 30 minutes of sweat with a spade.  Enjoy

Dirty e70 pics... love it!
"It was important to switch off the DTC to get proper traction in the slippery stuff." Some folks still haven't figured that out. Looks like a lot of fun.

Great write up and pics! Front mud flaps might help keep the mud off the doors (under normal conditions!)
