Donuts!

Come on then, who's been doing donuts in the snow?
I got sent home from work at 2pm and I have to admit I couldn't resist finding a few quiet open spaces on the way home and doing the odd donut.
Got to love RWD cars - great fun!

The car park at the place where I take the puppy out for his walk was empty with a nice covering of fresh snow early this morning.....so we did some donuts in the Navara, which was entertaining

I find a late night visit to a local tesco carpark the safest play ground

And since remapping my E93 its even more fun.

Course subconsciously your learning a valuable lesson: how your handles in the snow. Well thats what i'd tell the rozers hehe

It's a shame we don't get more snow and have more open spaces to play in.

Often there's just a bit. You get a couple of donuts in and then you have to scarpa before the police show up.

There was a story about someone getting caught in a car park. Then getting done for a number of offenses. Something like unsociable driving, driving without due care. Etc etc.

But burgle a house, mug an old lady or rob someone's car and there will be no sign of the police!
