Can see this thread getting made No Access by Nigel if this goes much further.

I was stood in the transport managers office at work only yesterday when there was a rather loud knock on the door, then enters a bloke (manger of National Tyres from the bottom of the street)

"one of your vans has come into the fitting bay hell for leather like it was being driven by Sterling ******* Moss this morning, he didnt notice that the roller shutter doors were only half up and hes took them clean out with his bleeding ladder-rack!!"

Now that did make me ... maybe the driver was practising a similar maneavour when coming out of the bottom of the street and the Tranee fish tailed right into Nationals shop front???

Ive seen the van, not really a scratch on it .. I also took a quick peek at Nationals doors ... favoured it had been hit by an RPG

thanks, but the car pretty much sorts itself out with the tc on, you just need to steady the throttle and not be too snappy with the opposite lock

Drifting is the means to prolong oversteer or slide as long as possible. It's entertaining 4 sure on track but good driving teaches (road or track) to deal with oversteer as quickly as possible.

Learning to control oversteer is one thing but deliberately drifting on roads is nuts.. even experts get it wrong and can spin. Controlling oversteer is one thing and yes it can aid driving but provoking a drift to call it a means to learn how to drive better is an opinion I'd expect on www.nedsamongstus.com.org/nuts.

That aside I think any bimmer owner should learn to control oversteer ASAP. Let's discuss options at the AGM.

i'd really love to do one of those High Performance driving courses

To be honest thats what I thought I was going to learn when I did my IAM course, a little disappointed that the object wasn't to drive fast and safe

might see about block booking for skid pan at knockhill ??? but ounce again it will be a numbers & cost  issue .As was said last night we did have a situation where folks put forward that they would like a private day at a proper race track , it was all set up by Dunc & it was a case of " oh ! i will let you know nearer the time " which as you know is no good as all money must be paid upfront. which is a pity for bloke's like yourself Jon who support this type of event .
