Remember that you'll need to check that it has 1.6mm of tread before you take it out on the public highway.....  ::)

Yeah, all the way round the tyre not just on the bit sticking out the fuel cap  ;D

me thinks this is why they invented "drifting" tyres

I'm sure one of the bits had 1.6mm on it somewhere!

Drifty tyres?! They are just whatever you can get your hands on! Bought some Elite 17's on Sunday, so I now have my 'normal' set of 16's to skid on plus my previous drifty set of 16's so am getting quite a collection!

Building the 200sx back up at the moment (have invested in a Chevy V8 to put in it) so the Omega will be normalised again soon enough... possibly (its actually very good at keeping up with the jap boys!

Oh and she was used in the donut world record a few weeks back, keep an eye out on sky 'Guiness world record smashers/busters' or something  :y

You are a total loon, I have taken my BMs sideways many times especially my current E34 525i with LSD, but your pics are mad!!  was thinking if the miggy would make a good sideways car but the bulk was worring me when it started to shoulder over on very quiet roundabouts, may have to investigate further on a carpark.....  ;)

Actually best car for sideways fun I ever had was a late 2.0 auto Carlton, my god did that car teach me about opposite lock control!

Just a good ol boy never meaning no harm.  Making my way the only way I know how, that's just a little bit more than the law will allow.
