im building up my confidence getting the arse out in 2nd coming off roundabouts, but has anyone else noticed pedestrians have a look of panic cos they think youve lost it? ive done a few good'uns only to feel stupid when people on the pavement look on in horror!

I know a daft young lad who got himself a 325i, about 4 years ago. My mate, who owned mine prior to me took him out and showed him how to step the back end out in a controled fashion.

About 2 weeks later the prat took out a bus shelter with the back end. Unfortunately it was about 8.15 and there were some school kids standing there. A girl was quite badly hurt, he was a very lucky lad not to get locked up

I think I better stop going sideways in the m5 before I do something stupid.

I went to watch Star wars last night and had to really hunt for a space in the car park.....lots of turns and plenty of sidewaysness........I think I atteacted alot of attention in the cue aswell.....

I'd rather watch a M5 sliding around a car park than Star Wars!
