Unfortunitely most of my shots were shaky but here are 2 views from my car and Ru's





On the second time round they had pumped more water into the pond and by the 3rd time round the exit was so rutted and steep even my pal in his Landy 110 with 285 tyres was worried about getting out.

2CV4x4 with me and 3 passengers got out fine...

Had a great time today at this, the tracks were fantastic, however the looks on peoples faces were priceless. The marshals on the tracks were great, all volunteers too, and a pretty good vibe the whole day.


Sorry about that, SF. Its pretty hard to get steady shots from a moving 2cv.

Here are the shots I took from my camera phone from today:


Ready for the off. (not mine though )


There were two tracks, Easy and Hard. This is an easy bit of Easy.


Marshal: Is that a 4x4 mate?
SF: yep, look under the boot as I drive over this precipice.
Marshal: Awesome!


SF: Finally, a clear bit of track


Passing on the dual carriageway


Queueing for the mudbath near to the finish


Marshal: Is that a 4x4 mate?
SF: Yep.
Marshal: Well don't worry, we'll tow you out when you get stu... oh, you've gone.
Marshal: Cool!


Ru mixing it with the big boys


Another easy bit for Ru..


A lot steeper than it looks...


...see. Ru just completing part of the Hard track. Range Rover merging from the Easy track


Imagine how it must feel to see this in the rear view mirror of your hardcore 4x4 8.7 litre Maybatsu Monstrosity


Caution - uneven road surface


Pausing at the finish, Not a scratch ...


... and not stuck once


Safely back to the start ready for another go.

Excellent shots Xmas

Definitely a date for the 2011 calendar.

Great pics, Chris!

Looks like a fun day. Did you get your 2wd muddy?

Thanks Neil
No, no mud for me this time, it was borderline 'have a go' for a 2wd, but there was a fair bit of grounding out going around, but maybe next time with suspension wound up a bit and if there is a front to back undertray fitted. That would be quite fun having a go... on the Easy track anyway.

A few more cool pictures from other people of the event from a quick google:






I love the way the range rover's grille is frozen in mid air flying off.


Stuck - Oops


Always loved those VW Bus Synchros!







Oh yeah and a few notable mentions on other forums (fora?) turned up in the search:
