Mazzi cleaned up fine but the side 'surfboards' got a little bit peppered by the wash of stones. Dirt roads are a fact of life outside the cities and are often the only access to many of the places you may want to visit. I have an old Landrover 110 which has been my 'bush' transport for the last 20 years (approaching 500,000km now) but is in need of a major rebuild before I would trust it for another long distance trip. Fantastic off road vehicle but very expensive to run, (legendary) appalling build quality and despite the Range Rover style coil suspension and many, many modifications (including supercharging  ) it is still very primitive and uncomfortable. Less interested in major expeditions into the bush these days - all that tent & camping stuff, discomfort, dirt, heat and flies not to mention all the fuel, water, provisions, tyres, spares and survival gear. Still we did get to some magic places over the years... and I never did get around to doing the Canning Stock Route (1800km of remote desert with giant sand dunes!). Hmmm...
Cheers

) about 80km of fabulous twisties which plunge up and down through the Karri forest, the Mazzi happily took the bends at nearly twice the posted speed and if you're lucky no roos to hit and no cops to spoil the fun! My fun was not spoilt - faces set into permanent grins after 80 kms of it 
but I can still find a few litres to wash the dead flies off the Mazzi thanks to Messrs Karcher (power washer)
