October ’14 Photo Comp - MUD.

[Cuppa]

October Photo Comp

This month’s competition topic has been chosen by September’s winner, MudrunnerTD
who has been unable to resist a topic dear to his heart MUD!!!

I expect there might just be a few others for whom those three little letters bring on a sense of irresistible excitement (poor fools). So go for it folks, do your dirtiest, but try to keep yourselves (as well as those shots) focussed.

Those who feel the need to add brief info to their entry telling us what the little bit of fun cost them in repairs might give the rest of us a giggle, which potentially could be worth a vote or two. LOL.

Good luck all, & thanks Darren. (MudrunnerTD).

Well, where are they all?
I don't play in mud so have no photos.

[MudRunnerTD]

Well I'd better kick it off then........

So I was stuck in this hole for over an hour. Triple Line Pull plus a second winch from a second car is the forth line in this pic!!!! The suction was insane!!

This was taken at 5:30 in the afternoon. I went into this track at 11:30pm the night before! Had been a Loooong night!

[NissanGQ4.2]

Not a lot of mud but the ole q at its finest.

[ova50]

I don't play in mud so have no photos.

Same here, the closest thing to a photo of mud I have is Ichabod Mudd (with two Ds.)
As I didn't take the photo, it excludes me from entering.

[Cuppa]

Best & only one I can manage. Who’d have thought they would have tasted so good?

[BigRAWesty]

Well let's keep those batting for the other team out numbered.
A nice simple mud sludge hole. ;-)

[BigRAWesty]

Second entry is what happens if you ever so slightly deviate off the track down this way.
Notice the bull bar disappearing on the right. I had no traction with the 33's, and what's better is the 75 behind dug itself in to try to recover.
Mawhahahaha...

[BigRAWesty]

Third is taken with our camera, but but someone else of course. Hopefully that passes.
It's a nice family shot after the day in the mud.

[megatexture]

Is that Matty wearing a Pink Tutu?

Sure is lol

Gawd! This wins already!

I'd like to see this pic in the church like all the other winning photos lmfao

[RubberDuckieGQ]

Haha wow! Pic #2 - that's dragging thru kilo's of mud!!

[Cuppa]

OK mud bunnies, it’s getting toward the end of the month, this weekend might be a good time to go out & get filthy, & to take some pics whilst you’re at it. If you are a reformed mud bunny, having learned your lesson the weekend might be a good time to grab some refreshment & search though the pics from your past whilst sniggering at the thought of your mates out there throwing their cash into those bog holes.

Whichever, whatever, whether you’ve never entered a pic before ........as long as it’s yours get it in ...... now is the time..........you know it makes sense!

Doesn’t have to have a 4wd or even a Patrol in it ................but it does have to have MUD.

Some may notice that the number of votes differ slightly in the thread to what I am reporting here. Unfortunately some votes were received after close of voting & were thus not counted. This made no difference to first & second place, but there would have been a 4th tie in third place. (Fracster).

Many others got a good swag of votes. Well done all & thanks to all who voted.

Ps. PM me with your choice for our November topic please Growler.
