Seriously Weird behaviour... - Ian (Cape Town)
This appeared on a local motoring site today. I do not advocate this practise, however, I post it to show how goofy some people are! [hopefully Quentin Wilson didn't do this report on GMTV today ...]
For FWD Drivers
Has anybody tried tray-sliding?

Get 2 hard plastic trays. The kind some mushrooms come in. They're marginally bigger than the footprint of your rear wheels.

Some crafty trimming with a craft knife will allow you to park your rear wheels on them. Pull up the handbrake, drop the clutch and let rip.
In an empty parking lot preferably.

Fun for a few minutes - until the security guards get to you. Don't forget to release the h/brake to effect your getaway.

Now, let me see what the Mrs has got stored in the cupboard...

......and the trays come shooting out from the rear wheels and through the supermarket window.

Lets have you address Ian so I can send the bill....

Presumably it gives a kind of 'rear wheels on ice' effect?

I think we had a demo of cars racing this way on the Driven program a while back. I recall it was on a track with old bangers.
