Auto runs a 90:10 split, true, but rocks to 50:50 when traction is completely broken, so the idea is to head one way doing at least 40/50 clicks, rip up the handbrake and go for a j turn - because it's an auto you need to have the boot well and truly smashed through the firewall before the back end comes completely around, otherwise you will just bog down and snap off to the right/left depending which way you've hooked. The main thing is the approach, too many people try to hook heli's in an auto from a standing start - it ain't going to happen unless it's REALLY slippery and you have a LOT of room, you can see from my videos I usually do it in an area about 8 metres wide. Also, once the traction is lost under drive, don't keep the wheel on full lock you will just bog down again in the soft stuff when the weight is shifted, let the car dictate how tight the nut is going to be, AWD's are always on a dime. I am not a race car driver, or someone that knows a lot about that stuff, but I know how to get an OBK sitting in one spot rotating for as long as needs be.

Enough talk, you guys might remember the Panamera I posted a few pages back? Well I spotted what I thought was an oldschool Mercedes in the background and I asked the bloke at Kreisseg if he could snap a few photos for me; well, I was wrong (Jap oldschool knowledge not great it would seem!) - it is actually a Mazda Cosmo.

Actually it is Mazda Cosmo.

What a cool bloke, eh? Working on cars cooler than the other side of the pillow and still made time to post these up. Big thumbs up!

Holy shit dude.

My inner JDM'ness is upset at you.

The 110S Cosmo is like a unicorn when it comes to old school japper cool.

Hand built, Mazda produced one a day. A shade over 1500 ever built

The rarity of these whips is too hard to describe. Not as rare as the Toyota 2000GT however, with 337 units ever made.

Here are some pics of my old mans car. He sold it for $20,000. I was picked up in it from the hospital when I was born. Also this is his current ride, a mark 1 Cooper S. The photos above are great.

Just before you completely down my JDM skills; this is the image that I saw it in...

Spot on Nik!

But... Manual 50/50 is much more fun lol

Lock and drop... best i have done is got to 4th in a nice open ermmmm Paddock of wet grass, then i just started sliding and god damn did i shit myself! hit the brakes and then dropped into Reverse and still kept sliding off the the left for a good 50 meters!

[Alex]

I'm down for the J-Tin, Skizzdawg. Kinda Merc'ish in retrospect. But you must remember, the Japs took their styling queues from overseas markets. The 2000GT heavily resembles an E-Type. The Cosmo I guess resembles the Gullwing perhaps? [imhg]http://www.motorera..../g/gullwing.jpg[/img] robt - respect to your old man! both tight rides!

[CodeBurn3r]

Rob.. Nice, Old man was rocking the custom plates back in the day
