That is bloody impressive for a standard car
Looks like you've got that well hooked up!

Can you say "Looks like you've got that well hooked up!" in other words, I don't understand
As you see, the original wheels are on, Use Michelin E3A on the front, the are great in wet.

I mean, looks like you've been practising lots to do that well at drifting the vario.

This car drifts easy.. The handling is great. But it is only possible in wet.

Great skills mate, just goes to show you can have big fun in a car that some would deem profoundly inappropriate. Good work!

Frits could you tell me again what the trick was to do it like this?
I remember you saying something about that you have to steer back really quickly, in order to avoid losing the back side?
it goes really sideways

The trick is bad rear tires
That about steering quick is only if you have a lot of grip.

I just found out, that if you have a subwoofer or something, you can hear the low noise from the exhaust. (I didn't hear before with my mobile computer) You can hear I just pull sometimes full trottle. Not all the time
