Default How to powerslide your Scooby - pics to show

or how not to do it.


First off - hard into a right hand bend, high revs in 3rd gear, then lift off the LOUD pedal mid corrner...



Looking Good 8)




















Then apply opposite lock and step back on the LOUD pedal....



Now we're really sideways - maybe a little too much, but I can sort it...



















Bugger - that'll be the way not to do it then - he says, whilst coming abruptly to a halt in front of the Paddock at Bedford.

But it was one hell of a lot of fun trying

Hey Gary

Classic video mate - love it - sorry I didn't let you past - but hey - there was a biq queue in front of me too - was having far too much fun to let anyone past. Pity you didn't get any footage of me getting sideways coming out of the hairpins - that was the most fun I've had in ages.

Plus I can use the video to analyse my driving lines

Hope you had a good day too.

Cheers

Terry

Terryb:-

Hi Mate, saw the number plate and thought Ah Ha ! I know that car. In case you have not guessed it's Simon, I used to work with you and have the Clio Cup. Should be ordering my MY05 STI (with prodrive) next week. Drop me a line at work I'm sure you remember the email format.

I think the manufacturer is called hague from memory. Its very very good I have to say. Started with it mounted to the passenger window then progressed to the rear window later on. You can also mount it to the outside of the car body but i'm not sure im brave enough for that.

Very good vid. Out of interest what would you say is the power difference between your car and the P1? or was his ability to pull away down to gearing?

I have 136bhp and the P1 came with 276bhp as standard. I have no idea what his car was running though?

302bhp at the last count

It really is amazing what a little 205 can do - I used to have a 1.9 GTi and it was loads of fun - just wanted to nail it every time you drove it.

Cheers

Terry
