Well, I now know how to drift...

I now know how to drift the Scooby lol. Found out last night and it caught me un-aware. Driving along as you do, had a little play between 2 islands (didn't break any land speed record or anything silly) and then I came to the next island. Slowed down as normal, turned onto the island and I noticed I lined the car up wrong and had to let off the steering slightly to stop the car from touching the kirb. In doin this I then of course had to adjust the steering to get the car round the island.

Errrmm, all I can say is, thank god I know how to drift as what happened next was funny. In adjusting the steering I flipped the back end out and left the island nearly sideways lol. I would imagine that it would of look mint from the side lines lol. But as I know how to control a car I was perfectly fine but the initial shock of the back end going round a bend quicker than me was a bit of a suprise lol.

So after that I was doin it on nearly every islnad on the way home. It was good fun as I was gettin her to slide in less than 35 mph on 50 mph road Good bit of safe fun

Bring on the snowy car parks lol!

do you call scooby the impreza? wondering how can a awd car drift? i knew the best cars for drifting are rwd...... well anyways hope you had fun drifting mate.

Yeh the Scooby is an Impreza It's not hard at all to get a AWD car to drift. You just need to know what to do with the back end to get it to drift. I found the easiest way was to turn slowly into the bend and then just snap the steering ever so slightly and that chucks the back end out. Similar to RWD i suppose, with them you turn and floor it, mine you turn, snap the steering a little more and then floor it and voilar, a drift lol.

sounds nice... honestly i take myself for old school, you know, i like more drag, and that's what i've been into always. but this drift is cool to do, and it need more skills.

A good Go-Kart place with karts that are minimum of say 200cc are good for having a drifting practice, just turn into a bend hard, floor it to start the drift and then just control the drift back a staright position Easy to do and a safe place to practice. Or you can just take a RWD on a field of a friend you might know who owns a farm lol

Tsk Tsk, Naughty boy doing this on the roads Badger!

[BAD63R]

First of all, I myself don't condone any foolishness on our roads!!

Anywho, you can hardly call it a road Waynne lol as it was on private land. Where I live is a bit of hard one to explain. I live in probably the longest cudisac in britain lol. To get to mine you turn off the A5 and drive down what I would describe as a tarmaced lane. Then it's about 2.5 miles long with 4 smallish islands on it and there is only 10 properties in my street. So as i knew the times people where out, this is why I had a little play. The estate I live on has a Rally every year with this road being used lol so it's all good (AS LONG AS IT SAFE LOL!!!)

I value my lisence and life too much to do this sort of thing where there are other road users.

[waynne]

Glad you qualified that mate. We don't want the young uns doing this on the streets.

[BAD63R]

Of course mate

I went to marshall at cadwell park in my mums Scoob an it was great fun going round the track to my post... Like you say a quick flick of the steering an the back end will step out. But it also fun with lift off oversteer the floor it an keep the slide going for a little. Handles like a dream on Cadwell track.....I wanna go round Anglesey next...
