Here are some MPEG files from a "Mud Run" that we did up in the Wattagan Mountains, an hour or so north of Sydney. I never thought there would be much potential for serious fun here, but given a week and a half of rain, this place was Mud Mecca  !!!

The track we are playing on here is found about halfway along the main track that runs through the Wattagans, and directly opposite the turn off for Boarding House Dam (I think thats its name). The track descends down into the valley for a few kays and ends up on the tarmac outside the forest. Parts of the track are pretty much permanently wet and muddy, but if you head up there after 3 or 4 days of really solid rain, you are really going to have some fun. 

All MPGS are 2mb in size, 10 seconds in length, top quality, complete with sound (ahhh the glorious V8)

Here is my trusty Disco powering up a VERY slippery hill that left all other cars struggling, and only 1 other that made it in 1 go.

Here is the TD5 having a few problems with the hill.... it was all a matter of picking the right line.

Not a bad shot showing the traction control doing its job

Another valiant effort..... The TD5 did finally make it up this hill.

Some local yahoo's showing how not to do it.
