Ignorance is what I would call it. Any M car should have the power to throttle around a corner in the wet, the problem is that it isn't too smart! Cool video though and I enjoyed watching but it isn't my bag if you know what I mean?

Hehe, thanks I have this video. It's more like any M will do this, but is it smart? I mean there are guardrails on each side all they way around the exit and the roundabout with little to no room for mistakes. The person driving has to have the utmost confidence in his driving ability. It is still impressive to see.....

So what? Maybe it's stupid for you guys because you don't feel comfortable enough doing it... But maybe its Hans jurgen behind the wheel.

I do not drive like that on public streets, you are correct. But I have tons of confidence in my abilities considering my driving experience with law enforcement, BMW CCA Instructor for many years, drove truck across country for two years and I have never been in an accident that I was at fault in, and then only once, no tickets in the past 40 years, I have confidence, it is the other guy and destroting someones life that frightens me. Comfort is not an issue on public streets...responsibility is!

Talent or Balls, not sure? I would be a little apprehensive when it came down to pulling off a good drift or wrecking my $50,000 car.
Little bit of both. I got to give him props though, I can never see myself being that crazy.

I wasn't condoning driving like that at all, I was just saying it has nothing to do with balls of steel. [whip]
