How to do all the cool stuff that you won't do cause you don't wanna wreck your car, but wanna see other people do and learn in theory so you can say you can do it and maybe pull it off if someone calls you out... or something.

how do all of these good drivers come from a land where gas is so expencive and most of the cars are so small and underpowerd

Those videos are freakin sweet. I bet that guy's done some of that stuff countless times to be able to get into any car and just nail it perfectly. I wonder how many sets of tires he's responsible for destroying. :3gears:

Underpowered? Aston martin, lotus, jaguar?

The british have always enjoyed roadracing over dragracing, so they have spawned a few great drivers over the years.

[RobM]

i didnt mean that all brit cars are uderpowerd because they arnt, but most of the cars people drive for daily transportation are sub compact and slow from what ive seen

Rob, if you ever see british touring car series on speed watch it, awesome action start to finish.

[RobM]

i watch the american touring series at lime rock every year... dont think im knocking the brit cars... ive been working on MG's my whole life... Ive also worked on other makes. i love them all (exept for the electrical systems!) i dont want to come off as ignorant. I was just stating that when i was over seas all i saw were motor cycles and compact cars on the road. I think its impressive people drive so much over there, when we in America complain about paying half of what other countries pay for gas.
