So what you are trying to say is...... "Can't drift a FWD car"

Car alright? Just ego damage? (lets face it, your ego is big enough to cope)

I thought you were gonna make like the ostrich about this one mate
Applying the *Scandinavian Flick* from standing start at a T-junction?- NOT Recomended
Hoping that an alignment session is all she needs, nothing (bar your ego) seemed bent or did you find something else when you got home?

Thanks for the great day out buddy, really enjoyed myself



btw. I was awake!

What a great day out and some great cars.

I found the road at the traffic lights by the pub a tad slippery when I left...

the Camaro and a Sag also found it a tad slippy...
only probs is they have a HUGE amount of torque, as opposed to the pushbike style torque mine puts out..
not to mention its FWD
