It's fun for me. I also like driving fast on the twisties and I love going flat out too.

I think for me it's because I've never really tried it, my car's so un-drift spec it's practically impossible to do anyway. One day I'll have a proper go...zaust wrote:It's fun for me.

Drifting is more fun in an unmolested car. I couldn't see the appeal of it until I started experimenting with it, at first I thought it was a crude hoon-esque activity for slack-jawed twanks in housing estates who enjoy stabbing pensioners - but there's something almost artistic about it. Unless you weld the diff, slam the ride height, etc. Then, for me at least, it's just like typing on a computer, you put your input into the controls, and the car does it. I have a drift prepped van, and even though it drifts better than my old 320i, the E30 was may more fun, more rewarding, more thrilling.GrindCulture wrote:I think for me it's because I've never really tried it, my car's so un-drift spec it's practically impossible to do anyway.

Welding the diff ruins the fun, ruins the diff, ruins the car, ruins everything.

I think not. I'd rather read knitting weekly than attempt to do something like that in mine.
