<VV> Transporting a Corvair

[Alan and Clare Wesson]

Amen to that - the salty water gets into all the box sections (and 
everywhere else), and then when the water evaporates the salt is deposited 
on them, and on the next damp (not rainy, just damp enough for the metal to 
'sweat'), the salt is re-activated by the moisture and it begins its 
malevolent work!

I wouldn't willingly drive a car that had never been salt into it!

Cheers

Alan
