Slide Slide slide
« on: 20 February 2008, 18:45 »
I know how previously there have been a few posts about the Gti being more fun than the R32. I have to say that although this is probably true most of the time.. the weather over the last few days (f f f freeezing) has brought more fun out of the R32 than a foam party at spearmints!

slightly unsettling the .:R then pouring on the power around round-abouts has to be one of the most fun things ever. Tail out sliding round as you decide how much you dare to give her some.. big big grin! Found this so fun I was out till 12.30 on a school night doing it. the bigger the round-about the better. I suggest building your own roundy's in your own back yard ofcourse.

I know this can be done in a FWD car but takes alot of skill and some huge balls too. Just so easy and fun it the R.... I had to tell someone.. you guys to be honest.

note to R drivers: dont do it if you dont think u can! I sure as well dont want to be responsible for any dead R's :evil:

lol.

You want fun? Tanke a Mitsubishi Pajero on the snow with no traction control and tiptronic gerabox. Not quite a R32. But still a lot of fun  :laugh:
