Spray-On Mud Makes a Splash("retail park" is the British term for shopping mall) And there are people who will probably buy this stuff... If it was offered in the US I would get two bottles for some relatives of Jen's who do a lot of off-roading. Posted by DaveH at June 10, 2005 11:06 AM
It's sold as a must-have accessory to give urban SUVs a whiff of the outback. But U.K. officials say drivers who use spray-on mud to avoid identification by police speed cams face hefty fines for obscuring their license plates.
Targeting self-conscious 4x4 owners whose rugged vehicles seldom see obstacles bigger than a speed bump, the enterprising British e-tailer behind Sprayonmud sells the scent of the countryside in a squirt bottle.
For 8 pounds (about $14.50), buyers get 0.75 liters (.85 quarts) of genuine filthy water, bottled from hills near the company's premises on the rural England-Wales border. The aim, says the website, is "to give your neighbors the impression you've just come back from a day's shooting or fishing -- anything but driving around town all day or visiting the retail park."
It is not filthy water - it is good clean Shropshire mud and I would be obliged if you amend your libelous post immediately!
