How many of u out there pull on the handbrake when u get chance? Thing is i'm just changing to alloys so i decided to have some fun with the old tyres and spent the day doing a few handbrake things i cant really call them turns. So i wondered how many of u out there rag the handbrake when u get chance? cheers :twisted:

I used to a few years back when i passed my test - then not done it for ages until my mate in his crappy old fiesta tried doing one on a big car park at night and couldn't do it so i kicked him into the passenger seat and gave him a few demo's and then let him try again and talked him through it, it's hardly rocket science is it...

I used to love it, but now I am a grown up and don't see the point wasting a perfectly good set of tyres, but since you got new wheels and tyres, I say good on ya. Might as well send the old ones out in a blaze of rubber smelting glory.

yeah i used to do them outta the car park of somewhere i sued to work nights... me and a lad in a tarted up escort would do em and see who could do best... then coz his car was totally over the top, he would always get pulled by police on way out of car park and i wouldn't... lmao.

I am too grown up now though... bills, mortgage, cats to feed. lol.
can't waste all that rubber anymore.

Gotta do the odd handy-andy, j turn and 360 when you have the chance!

Can whip a handy on a single track road (without stacking lol)...just using a bit of footy aswell :)

Its all good if it aint in a public area or cruise!

Good when rallying. Pointless and stupid otherwise.

Attracts un-necessary attention and gives the rest of us the "boy racer name".

Sorry, just my opinion on the matter.

To do a handbrake turn ur best practising on grass if you can.... its more slippy so ull manage a turn no probs - plus there's less risk of rolling.

Just get ur speed up, turn right, and pull up handbrake - make sure u try get the wheel near full lock, should spin round a treat.
