Drifting isn't destroying our community you morons

oh dear what a can of worms had been opened

Maybe we should just start a knitters circle instead. That way we can tread on dropped stitches instead of sensitive toes.

What's the point of a discussion forum if we don't welcome all opinions provided they are posted without malice or personal insult? It seems strange that those who argue most vehemently against censorship also brand someone 'a troll' simply for expressing an opinion.

Kitchen, heat etc..

Hold on there youngster, this is actually a pretty interesting discussion if you read it neutrally without taking things to heart.

It IS interesting man. This is very true. But it seems to be dragging toward the old well covered themes.
Which im tired of.

And my cars broke so im generally in a bad mood.

The thread is about drifting and the comments made relate to the subject in hand

Hope you get your car fixed soon.

i dont take any thing to heart on forums but keeping cars standard isnt for me other people may enjoy it and i can accept that your car do what you like with it if thats buying it to drift for a weekend then scraping it then thats your loss not mine

So If Crazycat is anything like myself then at the time you'd be like "ahh!" but then afterwards thinking "That was cool but Im lucky I didnt slide off the road, cause then eveyone at school would take the piss"

Erm no, actually I'd be thinking "bloody hell, good thing I didn't slide into a bunch of kids outside the school gates and kill someone..."

theres your problem... have a bit of fun.. chances are he wasnt going fast enough to kill a cat, let alone a bunch of school kids, you need to be going atleast 40 to achieve that...

So if someone drives over me at 8mph I'll be fine?

That doesnt sound right mind.

well depends really, im sure you would be smart enough not to get in the way if something like that was happening, i know for a fact that at schools there probably wont be any students within 2 feet of the road.. especially a round about,

source: still at school.

Wooohoo, that means I'm immortal when I'm walking, cycling or even kite boarding, most I've ever clocked on my GPS was 36mph on that!

And no, school when I was there and local ones here don't seem to have a 2ft keep out zone, they always seem to be spread over from the pavement into the road...

[volvosneverdie]

I think we need to do some testing.

I'll chase Valman at a rate of 36mph.
If he survives/evades me whilst staying on the road, on foot, hes right.

as if you could be going round a roundabout, sideways, fast enough to be breaking the speed limit... in a volvo.
thats besides the point anyway, if theres a group of people, atleast one will spot the danger, which they will - massive brick coming towards them tyres smoking, and make everyone move. OR the driver will break in time to probably just nudge the shins of a few people who should be paying more attention

If you havnt got a plan for after you leave school, I would recomend you go into H&S.
Youd be the best one Evar!

Yup, sorry chap but I would. Mines been designed to go quickly round corners, sideways or not, luckily controls on rallys are time based rather than angle based. There is a large lack of landrover dampers in Fake which I find helps.
