Yep,
This is how you commit to a corner!

Lets do some power sliding.

He's a really nice bloke, and he's great at powersliding, but he certainly wasn't great at drifting !!

Bournemouth? Best to hook up with the Trampdrift boys, quite a few of them down that part of the country and they know all the local events you can learn at. Plus they can give you better pointers on how to drift an E30 than the internet can.

Much easier to explain in person. Even easier when demonstrating....


@Dave
Driftings one of the small pleasures of Jersey driving. Most corners are small, tight and sharp and usually just involve powersliding. But, if you know the roads and have bottle, there are some serious sideways bends, well out the way from potential fatalities to bystanders! No tracks in Jersey (well, for cars) so I make do with waterworks valley, the north road and some of the hills by the five mile... some great roads!

And it was no accident either as he was repeatedly doing it all day appartently :cool:

I'd like to see him try it in a BMW though rather than an S13 where you can sometimes squeeze in a cup of tea while sideways :D
