If anyone ever tells you
« on: 08 March 2009, 13:13 »
a 4 door saloon cannot handle.... slap em.

Was just coming back from the parents house and moving out into the outside lane of the motorway, everything cool, no bother, looked over my shoulder (blind spot) turned head back, and the bimmer in front of me was coming towards my car, ever ever so fast, so natural instincts kicked in, swerve right, pull back left.....



OUTSIDE LANE DRIFT Y'AALLLL!!!


needless to say i did sh!t myself a little bit, but all was well, the Toledo was perfect, responded to every little turn of the wheel to get her back in line again, couldn't help but giggle a little after.

Anyhow, saloons = Bonza drifting capabilities.  :smiley:

Can I just say, that only applies to the newer toledos and otherwise, they are sh!t at handling, however, they (aaz) are very good at running on just about anything fuel wise :smiley:
