We went to Glasshouse this morning as planned but only got a couple of hours of driving before my mates 80 series developed clutch problems and then had all the warning lights on the dash light up like a christmas tree after a deceptively deep mud hole. Decided to play it safe and headed for home to sort out his truck. Not many photos due to the trip being shortened but heres a few.

Damn mud. Spent $25 at Carlovers last night and still couldn't get it all out from underneath. Sometimes it takes nothing short of a half a plug of gelignite to move this stuff.

My mates 80 series is fixed now. A heap of mud and water caused his clutch problems and he drowned his alternator following me through this mud hole. Click on this link.

Mud killed my last engine it got in the alt and when i was on the highway it seezed snaped the belts and cracked the head all in about 30 sec. Needles to say i have a different outlook on playing in mud now. I still enjoy the hard stuff and still go threw mud, but only when i have to, or my pride is at stake
