ripping the handbrake in a corner to kick the rear end out.. or rear wheel drive power over steer... the car is still drifting.. same thing if you ask me


Either is drifting in my book, but you don't need to rip on the handbrake (or use it at all for that matter) to get a Mini or any other from wheel drive car to drift. All you need to do is a little swedish flick like I do in my Forester XT (AWD 2.5 turbo) and voila! You are drifting.


You don't even need to be particularly heavy handed, just turn in and lift off and the rear end will come around..

hee hee...yeah, well,,,i like building sweet little donks & the 1330 in the "New Blew" isn`t a bad little thing, smooth & drivable yet torquey & tough at the same time,,,nice :-)

It`s sold to a young fella , he should be picking it up next week,,,we needed Ben to Hot Run test it for us :-) :-) :-) Good job Ben,,,it didn`t blow up on you so it`ll be sweet for the new owner Shane :-) :-) :-)

& glad to be of assistance to you Ben, was a pleasure watching your grin grow :-)

& the Bimmer Twinky should be going back into the Monaco again this weekend or early next week, i still have a few customers jobs to finish , but as soon as i get a chance it`l go back in the hole for the 2nd last time (hopfully) :-)
