If you drive it right then sideways is a by product of the V8.

sideways is good-- style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

sideways demands practise--- style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

sideways is expensive--- :cry:

sideways is easier with RWD---(compared to AWD-FWD)

sideways becomes amazingly easy with locked diff RWD---

Controling sideways becomes amazingly difficult with locked diff RWD---

arhhh, the cheesey grin photos I could show you of Pedro_The_Swift

Speaking of sideways and locked diff RWD's (well, somebody was)...

How much fun would that Ford RTV Ute be :!:
And it's a V8 where a V8 belongs
(not in a proper off-roader).






Vlad hides behind a bush, waiting patiently for Pedro to take the bait....

Pedro now gives it a quick spray with glyposate450 and continues fishing,,,
