Ive got one! Well, Two, but ive already told the first a while back in another thread (if anyone remembers involving a Green Mazda 808 � Us egging him on along the Hume Highway, and him jamming it into 3rd and almost wiping us out, and him overcorrecting and slamming into a rock wall at 120kph � walking away without a scratch!) My other one was when I was in-between VL�s.. had a E30 BMW 323i Coupe.. It was a bit hard to miss, Had the whole gangsta look happening, 87% tint, 18� Works wheels (this was 3 years ago � so 18� were HUGE back then!) Anyways, me and my mate were heading into the City (Canberra) and to cut a long story short, ended up being a 3rd car, and everyone racing along the main drag into the city� I baked off, cos 140 in an 80 was enough for me, I kinda wanted to hang onto my licence.. (this was a Friday night) Anyways, the other two took off.. next thing I know the boys in blue screamed past me (still doing 140) and took off after the other two� At the bottom of the hill, I saw the 3rd car get pulled over, and a cop got out and jumped in front of his car. The other cop (driving) did a 270deg. Burnout right in front of me (still approaching) and chased after my mate who had turned off about 40 metres ago.. So in Slow Mo, im coming down the hill thinking, oh f**k, im done for sure!! Anyways, the cop that pulled over the 1st car, walked round the back of that car, and stared right at me.. put his hands on his hips� waiting! J So I turned Left (where my mate had) and saw him pulled over up the road! Lucky for me, their were only 2 cops, and 3 of us! So just before I got to the 2nd cop. Their was a street heading off to the right! So I buggered off!! Woo Hoo! Got away scott free! My mate got sprung with 6 points and a $1398 fine! BUT guess who got pulled over 2 weeks later at a random breath test & rta setup.. and got pinged for the same fine, plus got defected for the tint & wheels! Believe me I tried to get out of it! They didn�t get my rego on the night otherwise they would have been round my house the next morning! They said they have been looking for me for 2 weeks! Damnit! (car stood out back then) Reason I cracked: he kept asking me if it was me.. ra ra ra.. and after about 10 minutes, he says �right, your going to have to follow me to the station, and Proove where you and this car was two weeks ago.. and If I find you guilty, not only will I get you for Speeding, but ill get you for, Racing, Wreckless driving, Evading police (cos I did the runner) But ill also get you for Lying to the police� So.. Ill ask you One more time,,,� me: � yeah � you got me.. � I was young! & stupid! Don�t ever crack down! J

mmm... i got one... i used to drift this right hand turn at these traffic lights all the time, it was a great corner. Then one night at about 2 am i decided to go a bit harder and flattened 9 psi in 2nd gear at about 75 k's.... well the drift turned into a 4 wheel slide, and the curb turned my axles turned into bananas. also dead were: couple of mags, panhard rod, shockers (crushed against the body), etc... $2k in the end to fix everything.

so in other words he drifted 7 footy fields? or 100 less 6 footy fields? or if he went for another 1300m he weouldve done 20 footy fields? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
