Manz Got Lexus Lights?

Tool.

If you'd smashed it into that kerb you'd be ranting about how poor the handling was.

And to learn something from Fast & Furious TD is not something to brag about...

sorry DCI gene hunt, who or wot is that   

i dont think its that bad for the handbrake doing it when the roads are soaking wet

Gene Hunt is the greatest (fictional) man alive (meant in the straightest way possible)

Just thought you lot might be interested to know that I once got caught by the fuzz doing a handbrake turn at a T junction. Got 6 points and a £500 fine for careless driving.

What you really need is a big empty car park with a light mist of rain. THat is proper fun weaving in and out of the posts using the handbrake (modded with a stone to be fly off).

need to learn to flick the car into corners before you bother with handbrake

lift off understeer is another one to learn

if your going to play, dont bother with handbrake, just learn to upset the car and correct it

[Horney]

Er you mean lift off oversteer? That's fine if you're going some but when doing autotesting and tight twisty stuff you need more so a light flick in and a quick snatch of the handbrake does wonders.

I was (In my old mk1 escort days) handbrake turing and donuting in a local car park..the police came and said be carefull as we dont like rulling dead bodies from cars and walked off! don't think there as friendly nowadays??
and my golf dosen't do life off over steer unless your really really really giving it some! says loads about the mk3 golfs weight! now 205gti's were great for that!

when you dont have power steering the handbrake helps alot,   but i have tried handbraking in cars that do have power steering and it seems harder to do, i think u can feel the road and wot ur tyres are doing more without power steering

That was a quality J-turn from DCI Hunt and a classic one liner as well "your a police officer not a vicar

J-turns
Handbrake flick
Scandinavian flick
Knightrider turns
Getting a RWD sliding round a corner
getting a 4WD in a full on 4 wheel drift round a corner
360 spinning a RWD car into a corner
Driving a mk1 Escort on a gravel rally track

All great fun on an advanced driving track or skidpan day I know they are

Not on the road though too many obstacles to worry about so easy to roll a car on a kerb if it's already unbalanced even at low speeds. Plus it's dangerous driving and a bit chavvy, "yeah blud I wakkkkked me andbrake on at 90 yeah it was massive man went round 8 times!"
