Ooooooh I like mud, and more mud, off to Slindon week tomorrow, should be fantastic after all this rain, Rick

What colour was it

I like frontera's & found them to have good road manners, looked at a few but the clutch was far to heavy for my knackered knee & couldn't find an auto

im scared of deep mud now after getting stuck, and somehow, the clay got into my clutch!!

after that it slipped like buggery.

Was actually a pretty good offroad toy.

I have an embarassing video online somewhere of us getting stuck.

heres the video 4 of us in a little 2.0L

SKIP TO 2:05 when misses realised the camera was sideways

also because I was a complete novice

I was running tyre pressures on about 35......

be prepared to see some novice action

Yeah that video is a tad embarrassing. You can see late on we entered the wrong way round one of the red routes and got stuck. No traction with way too much psi in the tyres

And all that horrid clay water got into my clutch plates i presume as it was slipping bad after, until pumping on the clutch whilst jet washing.
