I've learnt my lessons from open diffed skidding in an MX5, the moral was don't do it haha.

It's still a bit twitchy in the E30 with the factory LSD, best car I've owned for skids was a Skyline with 2 way LSD, so much better than an ordinary LSD, but uncomfortable for daily driving

My first car was a 2 litre capri used to keep a bag of cement in the boot to try and keep some traction!

Those were the days
