So there I was. smugly thinking that I could drive a bit, when someone sent me this short clip.
It's frickin' amazing.

I'd be happy to get that sideways once and keep it going. The commentator makes it even better

   ::)  Hot Damn ....... Somewhat like an American dirt track race except here they glide around the turns only in one direction.
    And shifting by hand all the while.
    Would you want to be standing next to the guy with the yellow flag ???

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

I don't think I would have parked my car where the white one has at the start - just waiting to be clouted  :o

AMAZING!!!! mind you it is a nissans kyline then I guess it is possible to do these things with four wheel drive and four wheel steer!!!!

I just hope the Shed will get round the Sparkford track without falling over ;D

We'll have the camcorder out this time Wishy!  We can capture the shed drifting on film!

Don't worry Wishy, I'll teach you how to do it properly, so a four wheel drift becomes second nature.  Still if it goes belly-up we can always send the video clip to Kirsty's Home Video!!!! ;D ;D

Jeezzz, the last time I saw a smoke screen like that I think Q had handed Bond an Aston.

Next Bond film......

"Now 007 pay attention. Your new car, Nissan Skyline, all the standard featurs, for smoke screen, just  thow it sideways"
