Fun in the Mud

With the guidance of the Underground Laboratory we here at HulksGarage have conducted our first experiment. The experiment concerns the effect of warm exhaust gas applied under pressure to rain-soaked clay. The results are spectacular with clay and mud ending up all over the back of Hulks Wagon (and all over General Greavous, who was supervising the experiment).

What happened was as follows:-

During lunch today I went to Supercheap Auto & Manna bookshop. Upon returning to work I backed Hulks Wagon into my carpark, thinking I had hit the wheel stop. Unfortunately, the carparks are designed for "silly little Japanese cars" and so the tow bar hit the clay bank, dislodging a chunk of clay, before the back wheels hit the wheel stop. It was raining so I left the car there, what I didn't realise is that the exhaust pipe was now almost touching the clay bank. After work I had offered to give General Greavous a lift home because he had biked into work and it was pouring with rain. When I started the car to pull it forward to give us access to the boot, the jet from the exhaust dislodged some of the clay and sprayed it all over the back of the car and all over General Greavous.

When I dropped General Greavous home, I missed his driveway and ended up on the grass. All of a sudden Hulks Wagon didn't want to go forward any more and sat spinning it wheels. We got the bike out of the boot and then because it was downhill I was able to just roll backwards out of the mud, leaving deep wheel-ruts.
