You really can't 'drift' a car with no LSD, unless having one wheel spinning away is your thing..

They did mention they were the UK equivalents of their Holdens - and were relatives - Clarkson AFAIK does like them

 ;D Oh, I don't deny you can get the arse end out - but it's not 'drifting' (AFAIK, based on the definition of the 'sport') unless both wheels are spun up .. and you can't do that easily without an LSD otherwise the first wheel to spin up will just get all the power..

Not that I watched the episode, so I've no idea what they were really trying to do with them..
