I take it all back. Until I can do this with a car, I cannot say I can really drive.

It takes a hell of alot to impress me with driving... seen so many people who think they can drive quick, which most people can given the chance, but havent a clue what driving fast is, and I have met some of the best drivers in the world... I will let my current drivers guess which camp they fall into :smilewinkgrin:, but even I was very impressed by that car control! I would love to know if there were many "takes" or if that was all done in one go, either way, that is a mighty good driver, in a very well set up car! :clap::clap::clap:

Oh, and how wrong would most of us get the spinning through the hanger bit, I am sure we would of have been spinning nicely through a cloud of tyre smoke and come outside in a blaze of glory... but I am damned sure it would be through the wall! And I just know I would have killed the poor dude on the scooter thing!!

I do that in the local ASDA carpark in Dunbar, they really hate it when I go through the front doors and down the fruit and veg aisle and don't mention the telling off I get when I start doing dougnuts round the old wifie driving the motability buggie!!:laugh:

So you dont limit your spinning skills to the bottom of Duffas and the exit of the chicane then???

Me too, but I'd want a hell of a big run off!

As for the hanger stuff, it's a very sweet maneuver and it's SO tight, I think I'd have had a massive accident!

Brilliant - my mouth was stuck open in awe all the way through that - was proably drooling without knowing about it! :D:D:D

What brilliant car control. If I ever got a shot of that things it would conclude in a massive accident - no doubt about it!! :yes nod:
