Title: Good day
Post by: trautmann on March 03, 2009, 17:03:12: Hi folks,

Somewhat of an odd introduction coming up here, but I hope that the result is some good research :cool:

Okay. So, first thing first. My name is Richard and I'm a student at Coventry University. How very boring.

However, I've come here on a hunt for the most valuable of resources, information. After looking through your forums, it seems that you're pretty damn well informed and could well help me out.

The short of it is this: I'm on a Transport Design course and am starting a major project, of which the focal point is a collaboration with students in Colombia. The Colombian students have proposed that we create an emergency assistance vehicle, to cope with all terrains.

My part in this research phase is to gather information about MUD AND WATER. Oh yes, it all sound very delicious, does it not? So, I'm here to see what sort of information I can gather about the modifications needed for driving through copious amounts of mud and water. For example, what parts of the vehicle are likely to be affected? What kind of tyres are needed? Any information that anyone could give me at this stage would be very much appreciated.

Buuuuut first, I'll need pointing in the right direction. I don't think it's very appropriate to ask such questions in the introduction area, so if anyone could point me to the most relevant area of this forum, I'd be extremely grateful!

Cheers guys!

I suggest that you have a little look through the various forums and select those that may be of use to you, the reason I say that is that this club is generally speaking an all marques club and each will have its own opinion about various vehicles and their abilities.

You can ask whatever you like in any of the threads but be wary of some answers, we take no responsibility for advice given or acted upon.

;) :)

The best place for such a general question would be the bar, i suspect.

Expect plenty of alternative views though!!
