You've heard of gritting lorries, right? My car spent a lot of time

through salty spray last winter. Far more so than the few minutes the

trains
at ryde pier are subjected to and then only when the sea is rough.

Did you measure the salinity? You seem to have all the answers, so I

I would imagine that ...


That's a "no" then, isn't it.


Of course its a no if you're going to ask absurd questions so get back
under your bridge. In the meantime I'll stick with the valid assumption
that water with a lot of salt in it is rather salty and will cause corrosion
in a non galvanised vehicle.
