190 for sale. NOT!

I can see the advert on Ebay now. (translated from spanish of course)
Mercedes 190 2.6 green good condition, slightly noisy transmission, needs rear tyres! offers over £1000 no time wasters.

Certainly a cheap way to sandblast the lower half of the car, and I wonder what the local police will think of his driving 'skills' whilst negotiating the roundabout?

mm - slight mismatch going on between his skill's, his potential and his considerative nature

Perhaps he's a trainee Doncaster Pace Driver (see http://mbclub.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=22681)?

Not that talented - and why choose such a relativly busy roundabout? The mucking about in wasteland / empty car park - fine - doesnt hurt anyone, and could be argued that it 'hones your skills' as a driver (for when somthing goes wrong unexpectedly).

But not on a busy roundabout ya numpty...

There's skill and then there is Stupidity, especially on a public highway.

Hmmm.... slightly mad, maybe a bit insane but definatly talented.

 

[Howard]

The roundabout is a great drift, but utterly mad to do it with traffic entering the roundabout in front of him......

10/10 for talent :bannana:

0/10 for consideration and sensibility

Hi

I wish i could drive like that in my opinion he is very talented. In my younger Toyota Twincam (RWD LSD) driving days i had lots of goes at maintaining 4 wheel drifts and could certainly not keep them going as long as that.
Hours of drifting twincams never damaged anything other than tyres on the Toyotas.

Roll back to 1993/5.

And yes the crowded roundabout is silly at least when we did it, it was late at night.

Reckless but talented, and it can't be easy to make a softly sprung, possibly even automatic, 190 handle consistently like that.

Terrible music though. Surely something by the Drifters...?

I'll get my coat.

 

[SG CL500]

definitely mad - not convinced of the talent - don't forget we dont get to see the out-takes...and i struggle to consider anybody who acts that recklessly as being talented

 

[GrahamC230K]

Talented. Brains optional, but talented.

 

[GRAV888]

I just love the end of this one:PLAY ME

 

[KLP 92]

Thats talent, but you're right, its stupidity to do that on the roads.

Now that reminds me of the Brabus and those empty Tescos car parks....

 

[marcos]

Not trying to be big headed but I can drift pretty well too as I'm sure many members of this board can.
It's where we choose to do it that makes you talented

 

[mercmanuk]

talented i think,but using that talent in the wrong place

 

[Tiff]

That the big hairy one??

(and yes,I am called Tiff..)



I do enjoy playing like that in my X1/9,and my C200 was a superb drifter,but I wouldn't have the balls to do it in traffic like this guy.He is good at it though!!

 

[glojo]

,but I wouldn't have the balls to do it in traffic like this guy.

I will tactfully disagree and suggest it did not take what you describe to carry out that unbelieveably stupid piece of driving on a roundabout!!!

He does display some very good driving skills which are only bettered by his stupidity.

Sorry to disagree,
John the misery
