Can someone, or several someone's, give me a brief lesson on the salt
corrosion problems at Bonneville, being a "salt virgin" (that's a technical
term) and a "Limey" to boot, I've got no experience of this. I suppose the
problems are fairly obvious, but a bit of shared experience would be
appreciated, when I eventually get to the salt I don't want to go home
afterwards and find my lovely new liner has turned into a stalagmite!

(Keith, they didn't pick on you today because they're saving up some real
good ones for tomorrow!)

Paul in the UK, off to work to sample some more of the joy's of composites
(in sarcastic voice).
