Call me a big ponce, but after a year of ownership I 'experimented' with sliding the back end. I am usually pretty sensible when it comes to driving and I admit I am pretty shite at it. I don't want to knacker the car and so don't tend to boot it- each to their own and all that. But, a few days ago I decided to give it a go, and a have no idea if my 'technique' is textbook, but just went on the accellerator going round a corner in second and went into the corner a little faster than I normally would and felt the back end slipping just enough. Did the same on a few roundabouts and feel I can do it 'to order' now. The back seems to go fairly controlably, and it feels quite good. Don't know what it looks like from out of the car- probably highly tame, but for me it was big thrills :rolleyes:
I tought my tyres just wouldn't let me do it. Am I very sad for driving like an old man all this time?
