When vehicles were different 2

Driving on the beach is fine if you wash it thoroughly with plain water it's no worse than picking up chemicals leaching from the road that can create problems to vehicles, people's health pollute streams, rivers etc. Washing your vehicle with detergents is not good for it or people you breathe in the vapour given off, handle the soap without protective gloves sorry but the list goes on with these products being full of wonderful chemicals that we don't even think twice about using them.

We were tough in the old days
I grew up in Manchester also known as the Rainey city

I always tell the kids about how I used to walk to school in 6 foot of snow

So long as the holes in the floor were big enough to let the water drain out it was ok

Land Rover had this perfected quite well

Maybe driving on salt treated icy roads might be as bad as driving on the beach & through salt water, but I think you're drawing a fairly long bow with your other comments!

Most people don't drive through salt water that's a bit different to just sand. No matter how long the bow is there are lots of other things to consider can't just blame the beach.
