A lesson in the physics of drifting

FROM: Richard Stranaghan (via e-mail).

I am writhing about the "Fast & Furious" article which is dated the 22/07/10 in your paper "Lurgan Mail".

I would like to know how you have come up with so much rubbish and are totally ignorant to the physics of drifting, as far as I hear the pic you have on the paper version is a Saxo, and if you know anything, a Saxo CANNOT drift full stop! Rear wheel drive drifts, and front wheel drive ie Saxo does not!

And this "Lurgan drift" term, makes me laugh, was this made up?

I guess you have a chip on your shoulder and have got nothing better to write about!

I'm sure there are people who drive stupidly and "hand brake" etc in this car park etc but please get the facts right, it really turns people against your paper especially younger drivers.

Please STOP alienating the younger people in the area, you were all young once yourselves!
