Everyone likes sidewards action around a bend, crossed up, smoke out the back, lots of fun.
Then there are the guys that drive better than professional and do it in the wet on suburban street. Bus +1 XR6 0  Not that's not mid-drift, that's bent.  Person in back would be dead for sure.  Minor panel repairs on bus.

If the impact was on the drivers side the bloke with the tattoo sleeve (who i am assuming to be the driver) may not be lucky enough to be sitting on the footpath looking sheepish
I hope he learns his lesson That is a massive impact PS: his MONSTA per the bulge wont buff out |

What a tool, rule no1 of driving like a knob in suburban streets... look for buses !!
I live on an intersection with a roundabout and know that sooner or later some jackoff will come through my fence... they just can't help themselves. |

Seems as if as soon as the drift lube hits the road, everyone's in Tokyo!
I learnt my lesson at the top of my street. Coming home when its wet, those corners are like driving on ice. Years ago in my 74 Corolla I ended up doing a 180 degree turn, also managed to do it in a front wheel drive Colt from giving it a little too much round the corner in the wet, now in the Falcon all I do is just let it glide with my foot on the brake, and don't accelerate out!

How do you think it happened?? Muppet slide around a corner, not looking out for any traffic past the corner, and Mr Peninsula collected him??
On another note, I used to travel on those buses all the time in my younger days. Nice to know they're nice and safe!! Quote:

ltd, mate, how many people on these forums have large power cables for their amplifiers, aftermarket air boxes, and dirty engine bays. Must make all of them tools too.
I know the bloke is a for what he has done, but your list is stupid. |

I'm sure we've all seen some quite major accidents (or more correctly crashes - not really an accident if it was caused by an error in judgement)
With the amount of extremist comments that have already come out in this thread, I can't really see any discussion leading anywhere apart from the obvious downhill slide threads of this nature generally take. |
