Default Just saw an impressive drift

...from a 7.5 tonne duck-tail car transporter (empty), round a big roundabout.

I was behind it, but didn't get quite the same angle in the S2000.

Couldn't stop laughing...road conditions are great fun ATM!

its bloody lethal, i came off my drive (reversed) and started off up the road, 3k rpm and the back comes out in a straight line and i think, not dropping off the throttle, lets make this look deliberate, so i ease a bit and it just crabs up the road with the arse hanging out

tyres made of rock?

If I turn right out of my road and the road is even a little bit damp I can drift really nicely because of the camber of the road my young neighbour and his mates who are always outside messing with all the junkers they drive love it!
