That's been around for a long time It always amazes people when I show them

 

I never saw that before. That is fantastic. I especially liked the "stoppie" at the end.

 

Yeah, I've seen that before, it's really cool

 

I've never seen that before. How does he rotate the car like that??? If it was rear wheel drive I could understand, but... How does that work? parking break, smooth rear tiers, and practice??

 

holy... i never seen that before! that's what i call good driving wow
and well the last stoping.... amazing! thats like doing and indo on a bike

nice post man!

haha, i love watching that vid

 

Looks like some drifting going on.

 

Thanks MeeNeeboy, that was some video. I could drive like that - in my dreams!

 

We need to find that guy so we can all learn to drive like that! I love the rear wheelie (sp?) at the end ... Don't know if it'd work on the new MINI's since the front bumper is lower. Crunch!

 

Does anyone have this movie in QuickTime? Please post a link if you do!

 

Yeah, but what a worthy crunch that would be!

 

That has to be rear wheel drive!

 

Does anyone know if the car was modified for RWD? I've looked at the wheels closely during those rotations around the cones. The quality of the video makes it impossible to be sure, but it looks like the rear wheels are spinning.

 

I mean, there is NO other way the rear end could go around like that so much unless it is rear wheel drive. If I had to guess, I'd say not only is that MINI RWD, it might be one of the ones with the V tech engine implant!

 

I don't think it's rear wheel drive. I think the car is set up with a lot of weight in the very front of the car to unweight the rear tires, so it will easily over steer and that would also explain the way the car stops.

 

I do note after viewing it again that the back wheels appear to be smaller than the front. Whether this has any significance, I do not know.

 

a narrow rear tire would have less traction, that combined with the car set up for a front heavy wieght bias allows the car to over steer and turn very tight IMHO.

 

Makes sense. I retract my previous "must be rear wheel drive" statements.
