Recent post with video showing old ?Ford in mud

[AndrewMilne]

Just asking for some guidance here, please.
Within the last few days, I noticed a post that included a link to a video about an old oilfield vehicle (T-model Ford, or similar?).
This video showed the car ploughing very successfully through churned-up mud, on the way to an operating oil rig.
Someone posted a response that the video had been put up previously.
I now can't find the post, and wonder if someone can direct me to it.
I don't remember which Forum it was in!
I have put this question in "RECOVERY" 'cos it seems relevant, but the clip didn't involve recovery of a vehicle (except by itself and its 3 occupants).


Cheers

Hi Paul,

Yep, that's the one, thank you!

We can consider this thread closed, I guess.

Cheers, Andrew

What I would like to know is where is the video of the attempt at breaking the record to drive from Melbourne to Sydney way back when. I remember the passenger was bouncing a good three feet in the air. It's amazing he stayed in.
The Hume was a pretty rough road back then.

What sort of car Mick, and who made the attempt? How far back?

What can I say?
Maybe just "Thank you very much, Mick".
Sigh.

Don.
An old one. 1920s ish. From the time around the 1920s I guess.

City to city record attempts were something of an obsession in those days, Does this article ring any bells with you?
