looks like it'll be $115 each if we get 12 people in on it. you only get it for 4 hours though, which is only 20 minutes each..... IMHO that's pretty crap.
we should organise a Calaisturbo Airport Roundabout Drift (CARD) day and get some video cameras out. block off both ends of the road with traffic cones and let it rip for ten minutes.

Oh i am so fu#kin in for that. IF Grant is keen of course! Yeah but that would be unreal. Only problem is you have to plan it on a rainy day.

if anyone's out virginia way on a rainy day, there's a very nice roundabout with very little traffic. best is night time though, for obvious reasons. it's a first gear job, you can make it completely round without rear traction pretty smoothly, it's just the right size.

I don't think any round about beats the one between my home and work. ollie and Andy and all that know which one it is. Its about 30m in diameter and off-camber the whole way round. And to top it off, I swear the thing is built on a floating river of diesel. Its a brilliant 2nd gear (auto) drift-about.

i have found the best spot , it incorporates 3 round abouts and about 9 culdesac's , absolutely ideal for 2nd gear in the corolla - best thing is its about a 10min drive from my house
and yes luke - that roundabout is one of the all time greats
