So... Let's see the expert doing it 20 Watt :y :y
Name the time & place LD, I'll be more than happy to show anybody how to powerslide (or rather "drift", as that seems to be the buzzword these days).

PS

Nobody is an "expert" at anything in life, because there is always someone better than you  ;)

Kathmandu, 10pm, next Thursday.

I suspect most of those who claim to be able to do drastically better have an ego far larger than their capabilities

Sorry Killer but you are being much too hard on this guy. :o

That is a very heavy car and having been a co-driver in a number of rallys (in the late 80's / early 90's) I can tell you from experience (though not an expert ;)) that he is doing remarkably well considering the track & car limitations. :y :y

Got to go - train to Kathmandu leaves in 10 minutes! ;D ;D

It's not logically wrong at all Cem.
The day that one particular individual cannot be "outdone" (I use that term loosely) by another is the day the development of the human race ceases.

It never said it was bad Gareth, but it wasn't anything to write home about either.

being an expert is not independent of time variable , of course..as a human you can be expert for a limited time period unless you are immortal..

but the subject you mention is a bit different..

I think he done extremly well given the large nature of the car and the type of track he was on

perhaps a bit unfair some of the comments

I believe you're terminology is wrong, just because someone is better than you, does not nullify your status as an 'expert', it just rules out your claim to be the 'best'.

So he lacked a bit of finesse, Precision will come with practice
A big underpowered car (for that type of thing) and probably his road car so not set up for a tight track
   If you watch the Dukes of Hazard clip again whys only the traffic island wet .Its the same for most of the other stunts /trick driving, wet/damp road surface and I'd guess over inflated tyres to make it slide easier
