That is pretty neat, but I like the way they did it. . . . . . . . with rental cars!



So much easier on your own car that way. . . .

Ah, doriftu evolves into synchronized swimming, I mean driving.

Somewhere I saw a video of someone pulling a drift into a parking space. Can't recall where it was.

Have you watched the Japanese anime Initial D? I believe there was an episode that featured a MINI getting its *** handed to it, but that was all because of the driver, not the car.

You mean you have never tried this with your MINI? It's fun. Search youtube for Russ Swift, he does this kind of stuff in MINIs.

The video was good, but the soundtrack was really dated.

Another great reason to NOT buy used rental cars

I need to learn those parking manuevers for when it's busy at the grocery store.

When doing the two wheel driving, are the tires pumped way up? Can you imagine the learning curve?
