Is this a Pistonheads day out?

Nice bit of 'careful' driving by the two complete idiots in the 355 and Viper. Why are you launching your supercars out of a small village junction with people standing close-by?

Do we think they are trying to compensate for something?

(Of course, all would be forgiven if this were classified as a 'hoon', rather than simply a couple of middle-aged blokes driving irresponsibly)

So stepping the tail out a little on a clear turn out is classified as 'idiot' driving....f*ck me, i better sell my motor and rush to a monastry for some self flagellation!

You don't happen to run speed awareness courses do you??

'vid' ???

Is that text speak for video?

Dracoro said:

Quite.

People moan about those correcting those with poor English (spelling & grammar), discouraging use of text speak, having "standards" etc., well the comments of the vid show what PH would be like if we didn't try to encourage those standards

This is the problem, they infiltrate even my head

I've given myself a few virtual lashings

That's exactly the sort of childish arsing around I'd happily perform on a B-road miles away from any prying eyes, but in a village? Not the greatest PR for petrolheads...

Won't someone think of the children though!!!

Children love it actually, I always got asked to wheelie out of the school gates, day in day out.

Didn't half get told off the one time i managed it to get it properly up...

Funny you posted this as I was watched the same video this morning and thought "bet that was a PH run"

Both manoeuvres looked completely within the control and capability of the driver.

That's some stunning insight you have there from a YouTube video. Congratulations.

If that were a teenager wheelspinning a Corsa, PH would be up in arms. Top bit of hypocrisy.

360 is nice

I remember when petrol heads used to be on Pistonheads.....

To be fair driving prowess does not come with money.

Sliding out of a junction in a village is is a pretty dumb thing to do because if you make a mistake and bin it the chances of hurting a bystander is far higher then if you put in a hedge on a quiet b-road.

As someone else said, if this was a procession of corsas, saxos and fiestas doing the exact same thing, there would be a completely opposite response to the majority of those on this thread.

Maybe, but it wasn't dangerous and was playing to the crowd. You must be sensitive because it was all good form...even the 106.

I do sometimes question how some people found the site and made the choice to join it. It makes me sad that some so called car nuts think getting the tail out a little is such a bad thing.

[McHaggis]

Tail out = fine.

I question doing it in the middle of a village.

There was at least two, and they were proper bell ends.


Time and place, villages are not the place.

My god better than some middle aged idiot moaning bout people having a bit of fun am I on the right fourm here.

[carreauchompeur]

Bit of fun? Fine. Not in the middle of a village. That's the kind of "fun" that makes everyone think petrolheads are knobs!
