...but it still looks awesome even when dirty.

NB - I have asked my son to stop using the word 'awesome', but I think in this case it still applies.

If the mud on the road really starts to bother you, then call the local authority environmental health department and explain the issue. They should then insist that the builders take appropriate measures to ensure that they keep the mud off the road.

Though, as IT says, I quite like the well used look.

Yeah right…in about three months time, if they're anything like my council .

Like you and Ian though, I agree that used is good - as I said in another recent post, these cars are meant to be used: mine is starting to complain if I don't!

In the original sense of the word, or the new?
