Surely anybody who wants to know what the car is like to sit in can wander down to the showroom and look at it.

Judging from your driving I think you're a typical young bloke who would end up in a ditch, if you owned a car like that.

He's got an MR2 Turbo in his profile so I doubt it!

Thanks for your concern. I'll take extra care not to drive my 3 series (with a similar power output to the '86) into a ditch on my way to work in the morning.

Mixed comments guys, the video shall remain. The "houses and driveways" were actually old farm houses with nobody inhabiting them. Furthermore, the road in the video had better visibility than the video may suggest (I've watched the video back countless times), hope this answers a lot of questions.

I wouldn't have filmed it and posted it if I thought it'd get me into trouble obviously, but I already have plans for another video and rest assured your concerns are taken care of smile

For all the 'take it down or the police will becoming round' people, how does Harris get away with it? In his gt86 on UK roads had a rather massive slidey moments on public roads, which is the same thing as the OP has posted.


The slide near the house was brave though!

I liked the video, good to see an un-polished one once in a while. Only thing to add is that I was always told the things on the seat that pop off that you were using as a handle to move the seats forward aren't actually handles, you clip them over your seat belt. Hence why there's a popper on it so you can get the seat belt in and out. I look forward to another video.

A good clip, I was surprised. It made me want to take a spin in one of these myself. Not surprised your mate couldn't get in the back though. He's not exactly Jimmy Crankie, although his thumbs up did make we wonder if Jimmy had now grown to be six foot plus.

Personally, I'd like to see more of this kind of thing, so I doff my hat to you. Takes balls to post this vid. But ffs, go do the driving somewhere much more discreet. I wouldn't want you doing this in my neck of the woods.
