335d went a "Drifting" today
Took my 335d on a drifting taster session today at Oulton Park........... with MSV
BRILLIANT  - span it a couple of times............. but got it moving in several corners too - left some nice "black" lines!!!I got one of the instructors to sit in with me - which was very helpful........ "bit more gas" "bit more lock" etc.......... The taster session is squeezed in the dinnertime slot between the guys doing at for 2 hours in morning and 2 hours in afternoon.............. The only downside, was that after really enjoying it, they came and said i could stay for the full afternoon for £80 as someones car had popped its Rad. ............ had to be home to pick up the kids though!  |

no, if i'd been there all day - then most probably..........
But the taster session is easy going on tyres- and the surface of the track is designed to be very smooth - and they wet it So you can practice at lower speeds in a more controlled manner.......... |

Can't do the 3rd July - missus away and I'm baby sitting.
The next one is 7th August. Will check and let you know. I think we should get a day out organised. What better than a bunch of RWD BMW's for a drift day!!!  |

Went drifting at Oulton park on saturday with Max (ibanezking). And it rained a lot.
Great day out, but my drifting skills are pretty limited to 180 or 360deg spins, usually within 5 yards of the start! In my case the odd 'lucky' maintained slide usually ended with a trip on the grass. Fear of armco and trees put paid to too much daring-do. I'll get some video up on youtube - there's some good drifts from a couple of Jap R34's and an old evo4, plus a guy in a E36 M3 who was very good! I missed a shot of the Boxter with the roof down that went off road into a huge muddy puddle, most of which ended up inside the car!! Max took some great snaps, whether he wants to embarass us by putting them up is his call |

yes all 335d's are auto
just turn DSC off and put it in sports position and keep it in first or second gear.............. Its not a "natural" drift car - but plenty fun can be had!!!
