Beware the slippery surfaces in this rain! (mud fun pics)

Postby cpitts » Sat Dec 13, 2008 7:09 pm

Just be careful out there guys in this summer Melbourne rain.

The long time dryness has left a deep layer of soft, powdery slush on top of the hard dirt. But don't worry, the Lib can get you out of it. (just) ;) Also shows that the torque distribution is working, apparently my front passenger tyre was lacking grip. :lol:

The ultimate lesson here is, a Lib isn't the best car for dealing with ~10-15cm deep slush. Nearly bogged it but got through in the end. :lol:

Looking at the mud, it is quite evident that the car is FWD biased :)

Not really (even though it is more FWD biased), if you look at the third photo:

You'll see more mud on the rear than the front. The front pass side just happened to be turned while getting a boot full of go. ;) Hence the rather obvious splattering on everything. :lol:

Needless to say, ~45mins of K'Archer work saw the car returned to a more normal state.

Just thought it'd be nice to show you guys that you can do more with these things than pose in front of a coffee shop. ;)

Spose, from that side, yeah it does look a bit messier :P I was imagining your other front would be something similar to your passenger side :lol:

Nah the rims looks darker than standard. I thought you might have purchased them from Matt.
