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....... ![]() Cheers....AndyH

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 ![]() 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 ![]() 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. ![]() 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.
