They're actually bunny ear ones that I put on after clipping 4 pylons in a row with the original wing mirrors on a slalom test in one competition. (5secs penalty for each pylon)

I think I bought them to put on an E30 but then found a better use for them !

Ah yes, I remember trying to get a KA to "drift". Pretty good car for sidewaysness too. There was a very fine line between handbrake and power down at full lock, just brushing the trees at one side (very cool looking) and spinning off into oblivion. I normally did the latter.

'sideways on the handbrake'

So you could have had a guess by your own :lol:

I dont really have a problem with people who have a bit of craic whatever their driven axle.

What I never understand is how they think it would be a good idea to drop off their mate on the side of the round and then video this uselessness and then post it on the interweb.

Another FWD drift trick that puts a lot less stress on the car's components is using two trays (like the older ones you'd find at McDonald's), put the rear wheels on those, apply the handbrake and have fun :lol:
