Check out this video of some American muscle leaving a car meet. Has a nice MK2 Capri in it too.

Great Find :applaud: Some fantastic Muscle among the :turd: Euro Boxes.

Love the Chargers and Camaro's, sounded the dogs......

Saw that Yellow Mk2 at Simply Ford, it's from the Surrey Capri Club IIRC, fantastic condition.

Nova GTE's are now like Rocking Horse :turd:

This guy has lots of other similar videos on Youtube :D

Hi,
What a wonderful selection of beautiful cars. The Chargers have to be my faves.

The sound of American V8's is hard to beat. That looks like a nice Grey Laser pulling out from the left at 5:20 , Great video, thanks for posting.

Yes he does I'm subscribed to him on YouTube. He focuses on old Fords usually, lots of videos of Fords leaving car meets and doing lots of skids.

I have watched many of his videos......John (Taff50ish) is in one of them, leaving Boxhill last year IIRC.

You sound old beyond your years! :lol:

Fair play to Mk1 Keiron, he must spend hours editing the clips of all the shows he must attend.

HI Andy,
Yes, unfortunate timing for the poor chap. I expect the copper just had a quiet word in his ear though, as his exit wasn't as fast as some of the others. I'm surprised the police don't put in an appearance at these Ford meets, as I bet the locals complain about the driving.

Never been there, but the road doesn't look the ideal place to do what some are doing......It's only a matter of time before someone comes a cropper, which will inevitably ruin it for the future of that and other such events.

Its just a way to show off really, usually a big crowd pleaser plus its a way to show how big your gentlemens sausage is by showing how much "POWEER" you've got under the bonnet.

I just enjoy it because i love the whole Drift scene and they usually create immense clouds of smoke while going sideways and i just think it looks cool and is fun to watch, couldn't care less about all the male "bravado" shit that goes with it.

Apparently in all the videos he has made he's never witnessed a crash due to these activities. Says a lot about how well the cars handle i think, because of this was the States and the cars were Mustangs, you'd see at least 12 crashes per video. ;)
