The astina she dont drift

[Nate]

Well to cut a long story short was having a burn up clear mountain road tonight when i came into one corner that keeps tightening and overcooked it. Usually not a problem but this time a car wanted to come the other way so I got on the wheel nice and hard and I ended up leaving the road backwards at 65 klm/h. No damage (cept to my pride) thank goodness but i need a new pair of underwear. came back and had a look and it was the only part of the road where the trees are more than 1 meter back from the road. Thank goodness the new shocks are going in on Monday!!

Got to keep an eye out for those other people on the road dude. :lol:

Glad to hear there was no damage, to cars or people.

astinas dont drift, they just drag their ass!

yeah i was being pretty stupid so i deserve it. still it will be good to test it out when the new shocks are in. For those that havent driven clear mountain road (im guessing thats everyone) it a 6 klm twisting mountain road with all dofferent grades on surfacing and lots on tight tricky corners. Good Fun!!!

nate you know as well as i do thats not a particular difficult corner and i can do it quite comfotably on the right side of the road~yes thats in a celica how bad do you feel now~ :evil:

If the 'stina don't drift, try harder.





Don't do it where there are trees or other motorists.

[DunkyMonkey]

neither does the celica, but i don't have to drive one the wrong side of the road to take an easy corner :P

Drifting went out in the '50s since then traction has ruled, it may look and sound realy cool to an audience but they aint paying your maintenance bills.


I see some driving skills courses in your future and maybe a CAMS licence for some serious driving challenges
