HA HA, HO HO
I set my E34 into a four-wheel drift this evening about 30 minutes ago. Here's my tale:
Dinner, very nice with a presentation. Old pals hanging out at the back of the room. Headed home early.
Uphill run with NO traffic whatsoever. Steep run at the bottom which then flattened out with a hard right turn, close to a hairpin, maybe 145 degrees. Temp at 76F, auto appropriately warmed and humming. New pavement with no markings and a bit of light sandy dirt on the lowest section.
I hit that right turn at about 50 mph and a little understeer, didn't kick the back end out, just kept a steady foot on the pedal. All four wheels disconnected and slid around that puppy with a bit of lean, less than a squeel and no loss of feel or control.
Waaaaahooo!
That was a gas...oh ya, it was fly.
Did I mention the Roomful of Blues on the playa?
Heheee.
