This little video shows why I sometimes like driving in traffic circles ("roundabouts" to some of you).

I wonder how they managed to get the wheels to flare out like that, wonder if that scene is going to be recognizable in the Dukes of Hazard movie.

Drifting like this is almost an art form. In fact, it's the latest 'thing' to do. To get a car to kick it's tail out like that requires a delicate balance of throttle oversteer, steering angle and speed in the turn. Also, forget doing this in a front-drive car, it just doesnt work. You can 'fake it' with the e-brake, but it's not the same, nor as 'graceful'.

I just drive my car, I dunno any fancy tricks like that!

This won't work with quite a few rear-drive cars either. A Porsche, perhaps... but not a Mercedes S-Class.

And here I thought I was going to get new ideas on what I could do in a MINI. Sigh...

I could picture you sliding through at full bore in your Mini. :)
