Wealthy as Hell, But Still Cant Drive for Shit.

[justsomeguy]

I have drive Ferraris and other exotic cars. It aint that hard, I can assure you. That guy in the vid is one dumbass. But at least he is using the car as it is intended to be used. A shame he destroyed it. I knew a mate of mine that smashed his BMW M3 at Pukekohe.

Really fart?? How come ... are you super rich or do you work for Giltrap Prestige or something???

Isn't that the one Mr. Bean trashed?

If I ever had owned a Ferrari - it would have looked like this.

And they're easy to drive, as long as you show them respect.

I thought he did pretty well,kept the throttle nailed till the last possible moment.I did the same and speared of the road in the same manner.....in my Morris Minor.

Yep, once upon a time all cars were rear wheel drive, it wasn't such a novelty then!

(please note that "all" is used with poetic licence in this statement)

[FEINT]

for those of you that go down to Pukekohe Open days, you will know that there are quite a few private individuals that take their expensive cars down there, and there are the odd few that smash them up. I have seen a Lambo down at puke overheat, I have seen a Porsche GT3 smash its front, F3 racer smash the wall and LOTS of drift cars smashed.. (mine included)...

Quite funny to watch.....

will post photos!

Whats so hard about driving a rear wheel drive car. Everyone knows, thats how REAL cars are propelled. - especially in the gravel - none of this namby pamby four wheel drive shit!

its not hard to drive a rear wheel driven car, its just that idiots that dont know how to handle the power generaly dont know what to do when the back slips a bit. I would personaly much rather have the over then understear.
And i think most of you would agree...

For safety reasons, most normal passanger cars are tuned for understeer than oversteer. Most average Joe dont know how to handle an oversteer, thus panic and get themselves into more trouble.

Everyone knows you just jam on the brakes as hard as you can.

it's not so much of a rear-wheel drive...what makes it rather difficult is the rear engine. Mostly they oversteer much more than a normal front-engined rear wheel drive cars, and when they do it is harder to control especially if you are not used to RWD. Congrats to any of you who thrash turbo MR2 on backroads with skills (I recall there is at least one here with such MR2?).

Actually, I always think of a rear-engined car as a car that has 6 reverse gears and is constantly reversing.


That crash was a shame.....360 is my favourite car and I always wanted one....With my current situation I wouldnt be able to afford one even if I take up 20 year loan....

Well it's not a turbo ... but it's not too bad.. and it's for sale ........ check my sig.

Reason being in a couple of months or so, I'm gonna have a well set up AW10. That;s the original MR2 first model toyota ever built....... proper go kart. Already got the car but not the cash to work on it.

Anyone hiring??

[Blakamin]

my cousin sold his mr2 just before he lost his leg... was a good car... i reckon it understeered like a bitch tho....

nothin like a big-block powered, XB falcon coupe for goin 'round corners quick...
or a 350 chev powered LX torana!!!

I found my VWs were fantastic gravel road cars (that's where I learned to handle gravel) big polar inertia,and yet lots of weight over the driving wheels for traction.The big problem with them was the swing axles jacking up - so I would lower them until the rear wheels were vertical...easy to do,tortion bars with a vernia adjustment,19 and 20 from memory...18 on the inner,17 back on the outer,stuff like that.I always used crossply tyres because they have stiff sidewalls and are narrow to sweep the gravel and get down and bite,Kombi wheels on the rear as they were wider and took a bigger tyre.I made the first Baja before there were Baja kits - I cut the rear out with a gas axe then trimmed the engine cover and guards back with tin snips,no running boards.Brush painted with Sampson black high gloss house paint.

Lots and lots a fun - coming up to a corner back off the gas and flick the wheel and you'd be coming up the straight part of the road sideways,looking out the passenger window straight ahead into the corner....no brakes,you didn't need them.At corner apex...or before,the throttle would be slammed down and the car would maintain that slide....I didn't back off and would sometimes hit the bank.An S curve would be bliss - sideways out of the corner,back off,and the car would fly out sideways and into the next one,slam on the gas and you're gone.

I could never drive a car on gravel as fast as I could with a VW,they all seemed light and skittery in the rear....I loved that weight back there.
