That was great man. Could you maybe post a larger version of the video? It would be great to see in a higher res. Damn, I wish I could do that in my MINI.

 

Way to represent man

way to go! man, the site has changed a bit.. i remember when i got flamed for posting a pic of my speedo at 137mph.. nothing but cudos here though!

 

I thought for sure he was going to kiss the pole near the end of that video. Looks like you had fun and no one got hurt (except your tires). Good show!

 

you're killin me Dr Drum...

 

glad to share, but stay tuned....

major video production in the works ladies and gentlemen.

stay tuned for more killin it!

 

Dr.D is in........and working the camera. Awaiting some new footage. Feel free to throw in some chicks, eh.
Cheers,

 

I'm almost kinda surprised at the response that some gave regarding this thread. I'm all for it....don't get me wrong. But that maneuver is rather easy to do. Just get her going, brake while throwing up the E-brake and while cranking the steering, and then get the revs up quick to take off again. Donuts are so easy. And it doesn't take a lot of power or any mods to do. The majority of corners I take are with my E-brake. For all those who have their MINI, go and have some fun and practice a bit in a parking lot some time. It doesn't take a professional to do. Stretch its wings. Spice it up by trying a reverse 180 and keep it going forward after. These cars do it sooo well. Gotta have some fun for yourselves. Go at it.
I hear ya about the time spent on the car and car related itmes. Lost my previous girl to that. She said I was spending too much time and money on my car and on the computer with car clubs and such, and with too many car nuts around town. It's hard to satisfy others sometimes.
Cheers,

Simple recipe for enjoyment: Take 1 new MINI. Add 6 gears. Drop in 1 supercharger. A dash of 94 octane. A sprinkle of style. And finally add 1 MadMan. Bake pavement and tires to taste. Recipe produces 1 MINI Cooper'S' and full satisfaction. Motor On!!

 

no special technique here. this is a very simple manuver.

ill post the reverse 180 video just as soon as its done!

i dont see why the handbrake would help in anything but a true hairpin turn.

 

what kind of rims are on that car?? Also, suspension? I like the hieght!! Cool vid too!!!

 

i just read the other threads. Tnx for the info.
