Heh.. TYPO, smartass.

You in the video, with your inbred cousin?

To be fair, they didn't splash the kids on their bikes.
Greenlaning can be entertaining, and they weren't driving recklessly.

Those puddles would have splashed over the front window of the Mk1 XC90 all the time. Nice to see Volvo have more or less fixed that issue.

Not sure that 6 minutes of looking at their interior mirror is my idea of entertainment.....

driven up worst lanes than that in the wifes astra. that's the norm for some of the farm tracks in my neck of the woods. should have given a bit more thought to the angle of the go pro. rear view mirror... very Hitchcock..

That's not greenlaning, in Cheshire we call that driving on a normal road.

That's why I have to replace so many fripping suspension components.

This is the first car I own that splashes deep puddle all over the windscreen. Perhaps it’s not as bad as mk1 - I never drove that, but it is still mighty annoying. I have one that I have to drive through a couple of times a week and it always makes it a lot more dramatic than in other cars.

Have you tried driving slower.

I did. It helps. So does avoiding puddles, taking alternative route. Trouble is none of my previous non SUV cars needed that.
