Being serious here for a moment and, for Cod's sake, don't get your shorts in an uproar but....what's the feeling about dirt roads? As a reminder, they (the roads) demand lower speeds, somewhat greater distances between cars, watchfullness against bottoming out and airborne particulates, etc.
A rare Secco sighting! If I had Vinny I wouldn't care, as the dirt would just blend in. But I'm not taking the new car on a dirt road only to get all scuffed up!
Would it be safer to plan something for tarmac? I'm thinking that way due to the very remote possibility that we get some wet weather that day...not that its ever happened, you understand.
Also, I think that there is an extra margin of safety (and bonnet preservation) that can be had by sticking to pavement.
