All I ever seem to do on here is ask daft questions about getting all the little odd jobs done on my 944. But I do drive it honest! And I love driving it round these windy hilly roads, so here it is dirty and fab...

Nice, and good thinking!

But that is not what I'd call dirty. :lol:

It's dirtier than it shows in photos but yesterday there was a classic rally at sweet lamb, by me and got followed by a 911 that was proper filthy! Looked fun :-)

a) That's not dirty :wink:

b) It is possible to combine your love of transaxle Pork with gravel!

That amount of deep water is quite disturbing! How do you avoid it getting anywhere near the air intake, belts, alternator, through the doors etc? Or is the bow wave technique working well for you?

Yup, that one is just pure bow wave, everything stock.

The intake has since been moved. If you're doing it right the belts and alt ate fine.

Not an everyday occurrence though!
