ARM BANDS!
THAT'S what I forgot...
I remembered my gaffa tape to secure my headlights in place.
Sadly, what with the mud still on the car from Friday's Riverside course fun, it didn't stick too well so after the first ravine 'dunking' the tape came off the driver's side headlight.
The crazy low third gear blast through the edge of the lake resulted in the passenger side headlight hanging out by it's loom.
So, I removed it.
Then I plucked out the other one too and popped them in the car.
We had at this point a little water in the car...
The mud run was disappointing due to the lack of recent rain and posed no difficulty but I attacked it at my usual speed (HA HA HA) purely to amuse the crowd
Then we finished the first lap.
The following pics reveal the second entry into the ravine.
I thought it must have looked pretty good judging by the reaction of the photographer. He was all thumbs up and grinning from ear to ear!
Much better than the reaction I had last year at Kelmarsh when I attacked their muddy bit with equal enthusiasm and got the photographer with some of the flying mud...
