Nice! Shame i dont have the car anymore

[Stew]

This type of video is always bad. I just sat and watched it thinking 'I could do that!'

 

I might have to have a practice though... Usually my enthusiasm outweighs my ability!

[Zzzz...]

nice empty road with loads of run-out and nothing hard to hit...(private road of course... )

 

and you are away...

 

let enthusiasm become ability ...

 

and make sure you get a steady supply of tyres...

 

I knew a guy who basically bought all the replaced OEM tyres from big cars which had still 2-3 mm from a local tyre shop he knew the guys, he had all sorts of high quality OEM stuff which is great for this drifting lark...and bought them for next to nothing...

My dads mate owns a tyre place and my mate always works in a performance garage. Actually another mate has a farm and take away old tyres from garages too......

 

Now I'm thinking!

Excellent. I might try mine with a fast food tray under my wheels too.

[Zzzz...]

you'll have to put the trays on the front wheels and THAT will be impressive if you can drift it like that...
