MX5 roundabout drift
Out in the car today and came up to a round about - cold greasy smooth tarmac. Car joining from right was a fairly tatty little MK1 MX5, didn't
pay it much attention until the driver hoofed it onto the round about and held it sideways past me, past the next exit and to beautifully controlled
dismount down the 3rd exit. Middle aged chap he was with a bloody great grin on his face

Well another typical comment from someone who clearly has no idea what they are talking about. I dont care who you are or what you drive and I dont
judge you. Or maybe I should

You should judge, how else would we know who's better than who!

Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Or General Lee drivers? 
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

I think you'd find the law would disagree with you on that last point...

Not telling how old I am, but I do have a few grand kids, and I do enjoy a bit of sideways action now and then. (Probably because it puts my hip back
in place)

He was probably breaking the speed limit soon after as well........ there is a wierd 'holier than thou' attitude on here sometimes.......
it's ok, in fact encouraged, to have over 200bhp and if it's got 300+bhp and has 500kg hanging over the front end with some cheapo dampers
even better etc etc but it's not aceptable to speed so why bother, people trawl ebay to find potentialy illegal cars even though it's
nothing to do with them, Ken Block is a god....... but where do you think he started doing that stuff....... Don't get me wrong I don't
want some muppet in a Corsa 'drifting' into me because he's not as good as he thinks he is but I've seen enough 'oops I
crashed it threads' to know that not nearly as many people on here are as good at driving as they think they are either.....
Coat on etc etc

I'd not condone drifting your car on purpose, however in this instance I was the ony other vehicle and already stopped well back from the
juntion, the 2rd exit was a field and the 3rd a very long 2 lane one way slip onto a dual carriageway. No he shouldn't be doing it and yes he
could have wrecked his car, but I'd give him the benefit of doubt that he probably doesn't drive like that all the time as some others
seem to.
On the same journey, approx. 1/2 mile from home some tit in a range rover decided he was going to swerve scross my bow and park half on the pavement
outside Tesco Express half in a bus stop. I had to anchor up pretty firmly and dispense some driving advice

Two nights on the trot I have encountered the same tw*t in a pretend Astra VXR when I've been coming away from the office. Last night he barged
his way from a side road into two lanes of traffic waiting to enter a roundabout. He couldn't get into the r/h lane in time for the roundabout
so decided that he would nail it and drive around the outside to the 3rd exit despite the car on his right wanting to go straight over on the 2nd
exit.
Tonight he shot straight straight out in front of me across into the outside lane approaching some traffic lights with a "no right turn"
sign up. The lights were on red but he didn't even slow down and turned right anyway.
I can tolerate a little over exuberance with the loud pedal accompanied with some competent car control but this type of unnecessary dangerous
stupidity really irritates me!

As always, there is a time and place for these things, and personally I feel if you have small child tucked up in the car it is not a very clever or
responsible thing to do.
