A Warning for all you Bikers...
narked:
A lad I used to know round here put his car on it's roof because of diesel on the road. Not long after the D3 came out one of 'em sprung a leak on the A44. He came round a bend a bit too quickly and found himself upside down, needing a new car.

Hmmm, the terms 'real racer' and 'drift' used in the same sentance. Drifting is not a 'real' racing discipline, it's some stupid affectation probably dreamed up by tyre manufacturers. But the sort of more money than sense noddies posting videos of their exploits probably have more power under their hoods than the local chav brigade, hence the need for some lubricant.
Bleach and drag racing, I thought the bleach was used to make the tyres more sticky and it was introduced after lilghting a fire on your tyres was banned (AFAIK it's where the term "burn out" came from).

Well, ok, I meant as in the ones who do it on a proper track rather than Halfords car park! :lol:
And I really wouldn't fancy having to remove the rubber from the track afterwards so it can be used for proper racing...Although it would probably give some interesting lap times if left.

"Real drifters" not needing to oil the track? That's an easy one to solve! They use very powerful rear wheel drive cars, with various mods to help it slide. Doesn't work quite the same in a front wheel drive 1.1 Saxo, with spoiler. The people who try don't seem to notice this mild technical deficiency though, or maybe they do a bit, at even more expense to everyone else.
