Default How about some Vauxhall drifting?



Top Gear segment from about a year ago...when the driver gets in the VXR and starts drifting my mouth literally dropped.

Vauxhall = GTO = Holden. They're all owned by GM.

I hate the GTO, it disgraces the original. But I loved the drifting that was done with it. Those guys are really good at handling those cars.
