Nice drift, but pretty stupid. There are places for that sort of thing and then there are not. I believe that falls under the "not" category.....
Yeah, especially with the relatively close call with the oncoming traffic and the fact that the drift got a little out of control at the end there - the car went off the road a little.

Notice how the oncoming traffic stopped - they were obviously scared by the drifting car.

isn't that video like ooooooold? By the way, anyone who calls THAT out of control or bad control...well... i'd like to see you try it [rofl]
It's really not that hard to do with an LSD and some practice with the particular car.

I can hold onto a nice, controlled, throttle-modulated sweeping drift with my peg-leg Camaro in abandoned parking lots - it's not hard to do with a few minutes of practice.

My E30 is less predictable, but it also doesn't have nearly as much power to control the drift with, and it also has worn out shocks/struts.

Yes, I've done this a few times, and it's tons of fun. However, I would never do it when there's the potential for other traffic to be around.

Any time you cross over the center line and endanger innocent people I call it out of control. He may be in control of the car, and that is debatable, but he is obviously not in control of his senses. And yes I can and have "drifted" in a controlled enviroment and otherwise.

Yeah I have to say that was one nice drift in a great car but a bad place to do it. Could've ended in serious tears.

And what was the camera guy squeeking at!!!!??? I thought maybe he'd creamed his pants or something [hihi]

When the F*** did I say it wasn't stupid?? I guess I can blame someone for editing my post or something becuase I definitely don't remember posting it was smart or okay to do. I simply commented about the car control. Holy shit...

Why don't you cool off, take a few breaths. When did I say you said it was stupid? And all I commented about was that "I call it out of control." Than I went on to question his car control abilities, however in my opinion he is out of control of his senses! Holy cow....
