Volvo Drifting

By Rob

Editor-in-Chief

This guy is pretty good at getting sideways in his 740 (though this probably isn’t the sort of thing you should do in traffic). But what’s up with the crappy Euro pop and random Phil Collins photos?

To The Editor

Do you really think promoting this guy is a good thing?
I thought this site was a little more sensible than that, maybe it was to increase the hit rate for car domain.
Honestly if you had any feeling of responsibility you would remove this video and promote custom rides, Legal Vids and reviews , not some guy who has no regard for other peoples lives, and expecting some one to go out and do the same to see if they can out do this Idiot

Have some brains

Also I will be doing my best to have the police review this video.
One good thing will come out of it.
He has supplied enough evidence to have his Licence taken from him for a long time

Like the song .. heard it at work , thought it was more interesting than the french music always playing ..lol But dude you need to get off the road at least on one with no people , one day a part will go out and you’ll hit some mother and her three kids .. (know what i mean) so stop assuming you can control everything and get real …

That Was Pretty Sick
But the same footage was used
over and over again, but the one
which i liekd is when you came around that curve, and into
the street, right up to the stores.

I Got my lisence taken away for a yr or two
havent dealt with it yet, but yes
just doing this type of stuff, its fun, but once u fuck up
u fcuk up. well now. i should be having videos up here aswell
soon enough, and then you’ll see the euro driftking =D

I agree with matt. there were alot of good drifts. i didnt think a volvo could burn out like that! i have a 83 camaro myself and ive drifted like that a few times but when it was dry. i dont think ill ever make a video about it though lol. the guy can drift though. kudos for that!

Matt
Jun 8, 2007 at 3:50 am

What a bunch of haters. Some of those drifts were pretty long and one of the links up to the store was nice. I always enjoy seeing a shitty car going sideways. It’s funny how everyone on the interent thinks they can drift, especially the guy with the Cavalier that posted earlier.

all of us in the auto world ,be it creating custom art work, ,street racing clubs,or even outlaw clubs can all agree to one simple fact we have a reputaion wether it be a good one or bad one it is up to us with in this small circle to educate the public on just who we are ,if we are to continue to do what we love ,already the long arm of the law has shut down most if not all of the great crusing venues forcing us to break the already ignorant laws ,BUT im sure this young man can drift ,im sure he is as good as he tells people on their web site ALL DAY im sur he knows which end of the car is the front.but pall if this is your way showing off just how good you are ,you lost ,first that is no drift manuver is a skid with style,well sort of , second in traffic is a losers stunt setting all clubs back farther ,no one is saying not to have a fun time with what ever you might be trying to crash,opps play in but damn man just give one brain cell the right to think about how your stunt may hurt our ever shrinking world , like i said im sure u can drive ,but it didnt show that in your video i have been doing this for nearly 30 yrs and i have a deep respect for our world ( cars) i dont hate what you did just disapointed because it is foolish stunts ,all under the statement “i was justy having fun man” that is shutting down our fun why the hell build a car spend 20-50 thousand dollars only to have nowhere to drive it anymore because car clubs are a danger to public safety , dude just think about it the next time u want to go sledding on a wet road thinking your a drift king , fair enough? probably not but it was worth sending this . peace

Lots of harsh words and bad grammer here. Drifting is a blast! SO DON’T BITCH! Do it with what you have. Not the best idea in trafic, but I did it with my old Eclipse GSX ( usually in the snow ). But the video uses too much of the same footage to make it longer. Rock the drift!

The amount of traffic is a continuing concern, as this is not a stunt that should be done near any unaware bystanders.
Considering the amount of traffic and the blind areas, I’m guessing he had a couple of spotters – perhaps the cameraman gave him the go.
(I really like the segment where he skids toward the gas tanker.)
Many of these skids are just that – poorly executed drifting.
On the other hand, there is one segment in the parking lot that he actually uses the counter weight of the vehicle to successfully navigate the islands. This is INCREDIBLY difficult and is usually the sign of a world-class drifter that is very familiar with their vehicle.
Considering the relatively low power to weight ratio, assuming standard setup, the driver does have some skill and is well versed in the workings of this vehicle.
Nice vid. Keep it off the busy highways. Get a more consistent ride that is not an automatic.

Idiot, you should have blurred the license plate out, I retrived it by coping the video, digitized it then zoomed in on the plate.
Oh and thanks for the excellent pic of the driver.

So Far your charges are: Just to name a few
Dangerous driving
Failing to maintain your driving lane
Crossing a Double solid lane line

Failing to stop at a stop sign

I wasnt impressed at all but im not going to sit here and bash the guy for tryin to have a little fun. I do agree he should play a little safer like not around some dude walking down the street minding his own business or general traffic just trying to get to their destination. Oh and sorry but the cars a piece of crap nothing cool about the volve . . .NOTHING . . .sorry.

That was kinda lame…I used to think Volvos were kinda cool but this guy killed it for me…

That really was just about 5-6 different skids on frozen roads repeated over and over to a retarded song…LAME…if he wanted to impress anyone, he should have tried it on roads that werent frozen over…and filled with innocent people…

I’m fine with drifting but the world isnt a movie, its not cool slide around around traffic…I know people who street race but at least they have the decency to try to race when there is little to no traffic (still bad but better than an amatuer sliding around traffic in the afternoon)…

Gay. Look up the 740 turbo that drifts. He competes and can keep a drift going until about 50-60 mph. Music is a little better too. haha

O my god that is like the coolest thing I have seen all year.HAHA and all you people that r bitching on how dangerous and bad he his, you need to shut the hell up.Since when is everyone so uptight and grumpy, this guy is just halarious to watch, and must have some skill if he could pull this off. Thumbs Up!

Ted
Jun 6, 2007 at 3:00 am

As mentioned, front-wheel drive drifting is the stuff of dreamers. You got weight and drive in the front, the rear is just along for the ride. Even all wheel drive… good luck. Real drifting is reserved for front and mid-engine with rear wheel drive. Drifting on dry ground needs a good horsepower-to-weight ratio and you better stock up on tires.

As I see it, even if it were an impressive stunt, which it is not, the car makes him look like a loser driving like a nut.

Oh, and talent? Nothing special at all. Anyone who took or was given enough opportunity to practice drifting (with enough space, away from traffic) can learn. In all, there are probably thousands of better examples of drifting that could be found on the net.

Just tellin it like it is.

Jun 6, 2007 at 1:49 am

That was a bit tedious.

Seemed more skidding than drifting except for a few seconds here and there that got replayed.

I’m not sure what’s with the other user mentioning his Maxima being hard to get sideways – It seems an odd comparison as the maxima is FWD, the 740 is RWD.

Jun 5, 2007 at 11:51 pm

Wow…I dont think the guys who are bashing this guy really know what its like to do that. I drive a FWD maxima, and its hard to get sideways, even in the wet. When you do, its not easy to control. Rain drifting is a lot harder than dry. Oil paatches, parts of smooth road, etc…cause the car to be more unpredictable vs dry pavement.

Sure, courses are harder, but the parking lot shows more of his skill. He’s got it, no doubt about it. Oh, and yes, there are better drifters, Millen for example, but this guy’s got it down.

Oh, and for ‘doing it dry’, the car doesnt have the power to do that. At its age, it probably puts out sub-200hp, and being so heavy, I doubt it could pull off dry drifts like that.

So for you bashers, you go try that. Its a heck of a lot harder than you think. Kudos man, its fun but just be careful.

Sheldon
Jun 5, 2007 at 11:50 pm

Is it just me or is the road always wet in the video…..wouldn’t you call that skidding rather than drifting? Not too sure he could do it in dry conditions…….also the guys an idiot for doing that on a public road….

I live up north too and any crap can can be put sideways on a slick, cold road. Keep it on the track dude… that’s how people get hurt like the pedestrian in the background. Clip a curb and peel a tire and he’s a dead man!

PS. I have 2 autocross cars being a 90 shadow es turbo, 05 srt 4.0A, an 85 corolla gts drifer that I also ice race and an 88 cutlas with a quad 4 in it. I’m very familiar with being sideways on pavement and ice but it stays on the track!

Not that I would ever drive a car like that, although I might pull a stunt like that without traffic, but back to the car. If you see me driving anything like it, please put me out of my misery.

Like I said, I’m sorry. You drive what you can and I have had some stinkers back in the day. I just drove them a bit more… discreetly.
