It needs an lsd fitted Kev then it would be awesome and drift round and round and round if required - it was wet to....;) . Round a track and normal driving it's great without.

It's a lovely day to Mark.......:p

I'll second that, I really need to find some time to put it back together.

Realisticly, i don't see me getting to spend much time on it till May 2012, After Uni Exams.

Anyone else who has a roadster which is complete should put a video on youtube as there is very little to view on there!

Well I must say .... It was very kind of HandyA to let you road test his build like that. :D :D

Seriously though, I can't think of a more fun way to put the Saturn demonstrator to good use :cool:

Green with envy Andy. :)

Cheers Ronnie,

It was just a bit of fun after a hard week, not the best of driving but the area was a bit restricted plus a few lamp posts to avoid with big crash barriers around them plus it was damp. I sound like an F1 driver with all these excuses - Lewis springs to mind.......:D

Cheers....AndyH

Andy

If you want to see bad driving, stick me behind the wheel .... Have a feeling that you would need to dig very deep into your spare parts reserve :D

Gospel truth, I have only tried drifting twice & on both occasions it involved the police.
1st time nearly ran one over, 2nd time I got nabbed !!

1st Time

Was given a Vauxhall VX490 as a loaner whilst my Colt Galant was in for repair after it was attacked by a stray caravan ( Came off the owners hitch & got me )

A bigger car than I was used too, 2.3 litre GLS model.

Took it to town for a spin ( Read show off )
Gave it too much stick on the roundabout just down from the cop shop, lost the back end, regained from that & promptly lost the front end, slightly mounting the pavement & in the general direction of a policeman that was walking down from the station.

Don't know who was the most frightened, me or the policeman that had to jump out of the way :eek:
Would have been in my early 20's back then, fully expected a knock on my door for that incident but never heard any more about it ( Guess it was too difficult to to trace cars back then )

2nd time

Dropped my youngest lad off at the bus station in town.
Being a Sunday morning the station was deserted, drove in like a lunatic & tried what can only be described as a handbrake turn / Drift / Burn out sort of affair ( Even I don't know what I was trying to do )

Quietly pleased with my little moment, I had not noticed that a Panda car was parked in the Taxi rank opposite the bus station. :o

The Policeman walked over to me & said " What was that all about "
Best I could come up with was " Sorry officer my foot slipped off the clutch "

After a few friendly words of advice I was allowed to go on my way with a reminder to go easy with that clutch.

Late 20's then & well before the days that motorists started to get treated as criminals & a rich revenue source.

That was the end of my dare devil driving days.

Looking back, I don't think youngsters have ever been any different.
Just times have changed & the roads are just so busy these days.
