Spray-on Mud - So you own a big 4x4, and you feel a bit stupid that you only use it to take the children to school. You want people to think you're a bit country - that you need 6 tonnes of car to get you from A to B because you like to take it off-road every so often. You need Spray-on Mud apparently.

Perhaps I'll start a spin-off company offering desk detritus designed to make it look like you've been working hard (scrumpled up bits of paper, used coffee cups etc). I suppose this is just the vehicle equivalent of faded jeans.

keswick, its a British company. Note that they have all those funny symbols that mean pounds before the numbers denoting price? Not that I wasn't right there with you. This is the absolute height of poserdumb, oh sorry, poserdom. Do they also have some spray on chest hair and a prosthetic beer gut? If I buy five bottles will they give me a cool replica trucker hat? Ashton Kutcher says those are cool.

"Sprayonmud is NOT to be used to obscure number-plates or the lights on your vehicle. This, of course, is illegal and while it is not an endorsable offence, if your number plates cannot be read at a reasonable distance – or photographed by a speed camera – you could face a hefty fine." and yet the license plate is partly obscured in the picture they show! you gotta love scams.

That is a bad photoshop job on the Land Rover, though. From the Guardian article: "It went down really well with everyone, although he thought I was taking the mickey. Which is exactly what I was doing." I like this phrase, perhaps I can transplant it to the Midwestern US if my friends take to it.

Sprayonmud is NOT to be used to liberally coat the commode in your workplace restroom. This, of course, is rude and while it is not an endorsable offence, if your coworkers cannot be relieve themselves at a reasonable distance from their cubicle or desk – or become ill at the sight of the commode so defaced – you could face a hefty retribution.

Wired has an article on these guys too. It's real, it's marketed cleverly in regard to obscuring license plates, which is really what it's made for, no matter what they claim otherwise. In a country (England) with more public cameras per capita than any other, this can't really be all that surprising. I wouldn't be surprised at all if some entrepreneur starts attempting to make wearing masks in public a 'fashion statement' when really the intent is to avoid being constantly tracked by police' and other's cameras.

Heh, that stuff wouldn't work where I'm at. The mud out here is either bright red or white-tan or gray. They need more colors. At the moment, the car my girlfriend and I have is stylin' totally perfect mud streaks on the rocker panels. Like spikey-muddy flames or something in bright, bright Red Rocks clay-mud. It really does look cool. No, really. Especially on a totally nerdy 87 Toyota Tercel Wagon. Cars don't get much dorkier than that - hell, it's shaped like the "Star Tours" shuttle. That car has been to more remote places than most yuppie-stuffed SUVs. It's a tank. It only cost $600 bucks, cash. 160k miles and still rockin' almost 30mpg on the original engine. AC works very well. Plus, we can carry more stuff than most SUVs, considering most SUV's really don't hold that much gear because most of them are all curvy and and over-designed inside. Granted, we can't tow a boat or anything, but the whole car cost less than the monthly payment or gas bill for an H2. And a pair of kayaks would fit nicely on the roof rack, even next to my bike.

Bouncing up and down driveways the 4x4ers were scared of, shooting fireworks at each other out the sunroofs...ah, loq, I hope you realize the profound responsibility you and your girl have taken on by driving a car with such a profound cultural/historical role, at least out here northwest way....long may you run.

Oh, for those of you who don't know: In London, there's a £5 congestion fee. In other words, just for driving your car into the center of London, you have to pay £5 for that day. Cameras snag a photo of your license and scan it into a database. You then have until the end of the day to make a payment. You can even pay by sending a text message, apparently (not sure how that works). In any case, "accidentally" obscuring the license plate could certainly do the trick in avoiding paying the fee.

Anal Blazer- that's the condition people have when they liberally coat the commode naturally, without the use of spray-on mud. --- By the way, I'm selling special gallons of a special mud-eliminating water spray to wash off the special mud. Also designer-chamois cloths to dry your car. Special to MeFites, gallon water and chamois, $39.99 US. [For years, as I've watch the insufferable yuppies around me going to the special yuppie bread store for $7.50 loaves, I've been trying to think of some useless, overpriced crap *I* could sell to them.] --- I didn't read the article or anything.

freebird: We totally scored with that car. I'd like to check out the 4WD model from the same era, or see if it was possible to do a 4WD retrofit to the FWD model. In our old ghetto neighborhood in LA there were like 3 of her sisters still on the road, and we saw many more in the immediate area. About two months ago we got an oil leak fixed and some other stuff done, so we haven't been checking the oil level as often as we were when we knew that it was leaking. Turns out my GF had been driving it for a week at about 100+ miles a day in the 100 degree Phoenix heat with practically no oil. It just got a little sluggish, like it didn't even really notice it didn't have any oil. Poor thing. So yeah, I had a feeling about profound historical responsibilities. It's just too cool of a little old car for it's own good. Yeah, I wouldn't mind having a well-equipped oldschool Land Cruiser or something for more serious back-country exploring, but this fits the bill nicely. At least it's still possible to tune it up and work on it with hand tools and not need a bank of diagnostic gear or a shop full of specialized tools. Plus, I can practically pick up the back end, and I can certainly push it out of holes or to the nearest station by myself. Now, I just need to fix the stereo. Cheap ass decomposing speakers and bad wiring makes for crap sound. And I need to build the glovebox laptop bay and wire it for GPS and audio. And we're still looking for a decent cupholder solution, because it has none.

I'm sure you have some questions, let me try to answer them. Yes, this is actually part of the festivities although it is now unofficial and frowned upon by organizers. "Stumping" a mule is a euphemism for performing a sexual act upon said animal while standing on a perch, such as a stump. The contest is to see who can simulate this act the best. No, I'm not joking.
