I took the kids to Pembrey country park.

it was cold and raining and the car parks were empty and away from anybody.

so of course i showed the kids what doughnuts are like.

was that wrong or is it a valuable lesson in car control?


confusedcrew out.

I don't think it was such a bad thing...

I don't know how old your nippers are, but perhaps it showed them that this sort of thing is acceptable in the right place, where you can't injure anyone else.

On the flip side, you could have lost it, and would be mortified if any harm had come to them, owing to something you have done.

you are responsible!

Drifting & donuts is a dying art because of all these FWDs around

In fact the Japanese are so worried about the drifting scene that Toyota / tuning arm are creating an Aygo with 1.5 RWD set up - my only concern would be the brakes and accelerator

I don't see the problem tbh

No doubt a Daily Mail reader will be along in a minute to point out the errors of your ways.

I haven't been able to stop vomiting since reading this thread.
