Very cool video. Drifting a short wheelbase kart at what must be over 100km/h. Awesome, but scary. (No protection!!)

Unbelievable speed and cornering, wouldn't ever try to beat it in a car or on a bike.

if it was a gsxr powered Kart - could the owner join Trash's Gixxer club?

CAN you upload 13.3MB files onto here? Might try uploading onto my "website" instead. But I'm on dial-up

. Ok, will do when I'm finished surfing...

I have a car... but its off the road at the moment because i have a bike to get me from a to b (ill only need the car when i go racing (eventually) to tow the bike). Anyways its a 1974 corolla - bright yellow with bling bling wheels. Will make a project out of it one day. one day.

2004 Hyundai Elantra HVT. Don't know if you have them in N.Z. Why: well priced, great features and good fuel consumption.
Came with cd/mp3 player as standard as well. mp3 saves a lot of disc changing.

This car v bike discussion reminded me of the last F1. Schumy had by far the quicker car, 2 secs a lap quicker, yet he couldn't get past Alonso because Alonso had better drive out of the corners. Bikes are the same, no car can accelerate at the same rate in the dry. and you can't pass under brakes or in mid-corner on the road in a car unless you're a total maniac.
I often used to give bikes a hurry up with my MX5, but I do wonder how hard they were trying/how capable they were.

Just in from Pomgolia, it may fly after it has new brakes all round and the VIN gets done. Hey! le Voxan is off the road for a few months so why the hell not?!!!

I've got myself a new car just the other week. 1990 Honda Integra Zxi.
1.6L, Sohc, fuel injected. A lot more fun than my old Capella. Turns out a lot of my friends don't like Hondas. Situation at a party the other week, "People, lets change the topic....Duncan bought a HONDA!".
