less is sometimes more...
 
I came across this on the PCA-CWR website and thought it was brilliant.

Some Chinese bloke having a blast drifting his tiny two-stroke pick up truck in the most unlikely places. Ignore the few bits of Chinese script and watch it to the end.

It reminds me of various weeks spent absolutely trashing little rental Peugeots on French country roads....

Hilarious. And inspiring. I want to try that on Sunset Blvd with a Unimog.

When I was at home over Christmas break, the streets did not get plowed for a good 2 days despite the solid 10-12 inches of snow. I put hundreds of miles driving around town in the snow in the Xterra, driving it much like that guy did in the video. Some of the most fun I have ever had driving.

That's the best drift video I've ever seen. Definitely worth watching all the way through. I liked the way the video was put together, the roll bar, the fact that it looks like he TOTALLY rebuilt the thing from scratch.

Hilarious and great at the same time.

Thanks for posting.

I watched a video of the same type of little truck. It had a larger roll bar on it though, it was a partial "hoop" type of shape. It extended from just below the front bumper, to the cab roof just above the front windshield, and followed over the cab, to the rear, to just above the ground at the rear bumper, making most of a full circle, except for the open area of the circle, where the truck body and tires were making up for the rest of the circle, looked like a giant sized "D", but with the flat side down and the curved side up.

This is now where the guy driving was having "fun" he would be hauling ass, then hit the brakes real hard, and the little truck would nose-dive, and roll, end over end on to the circular roll bar. The truck would roll completely over, end over end, then land back on its wheels, and the driver would then drive off. They end-o'ed that truck several times in that clip I watched. It was sort of funny watching that thing roll like that.
