The snow is gone, roads are clear, my wife is now driving the 540i and I am back in my "exciting" Pathfinder with some funny clunk in the rear suspension.

On the other hand let us all enjoy Saudi Arabians gone wild video. (http://www.alr7al.net/matrix/mqa63/HG5/al-mustshar/2.wmv)

Is that for real????!!!! That is the most blatent disregard for public safety I have ever seen! The part where he did about 10 360's was pretty crazy, it almost looked fake.

heres a better video of another arabian drifter from the same group of guys:

i love the music and you will too.

that looked like a newer camry which is FWD. Go figure :dunno

These videos are everywhere now and they're all just as crazy. Most of them use Camry's and Hyundai Sonatas, both of which are FWD. Those cars must run for about 10k miles a most.

I saw one video where they were driving a "BMW" and drifted directly sideways into a light pole. Occupants couldn't have survived. I'm unsure of whether or not it was a BMW because it was at night and it was suuuuper low quality. Unfortunately I can't find the link.

Why didn't you post the full video? I saw this one earlier. It's insane. BTW, "ERHABE" means terrorist, so I wonder what that's all about :dunno

been posted in OT several times.

Here's the link I was looking for. Can anyone recognize this car?

oooouch

this video has been posted so many times.... and im pretty new to the forums.

in a sick way, i think he's in total control of the car at all times. yes it looks reckless but upon closer inspection and having drifted for shits and giggles on a track, the driver knew exactly what he was doing.
how you figure?
well, look at the film at .22 - .26 seconds: he was doing the salam before consistantly yet at that time frame, he lags his salam just enough to make it pass the tanker. very well calculated and driven.
.45 - .50 where he drifts from one side of the road into the other side.. drifting precisely and stoping precisely on the other side. never was he out of control. that's hot.
doesn't look safe but don't be fooled, whoever is driving is damn good at what he's doing.

good video. wish it was more high res.

Is salam the Arab word for slalom? :D j/k Dan!

hahahah.... Shalom i say! :D

He definitely knows how to drift, but to do that in public traffic is insane! You can not estimate how the other drivers will react when they see you in the rearview mirror slidding in and out of cars like that. I would try to pull over and let them by, but if they saw me 5 seconds earlier in the middle lane, they will still think I am there.

Not that I have much sympathy if they died doing something like that.

Mabye I am just getting old.

I guess there's no traffic cops over there either. And I like how all the people in their robes are just standing around half dead as this insane guy goes back and forth again and again. Some different folk over there. :confused

that was hilariously rediculous. in the middle of the day drifting through traffic? but it still pales in comparison to shooting guns and bus bombs going off every other day.

extremists in all ways of life with these ppl i guess.

What can I say, they are the nation of drifters:)

wow :wow

i didn`t see a crazy man like him,there are police there but they didn`t come-i don`t know why!!!.
K.S.A. people are very rich so they bring a car and drive it for 1 year as maximum and thow it in the 1/5 of it`s cost -i think you see why-
i saw one time there an offroad rally with the newest 4×4 cars (bmw-range rover-land crouser..........)but after the rally you can say that they have to throw it away.
they have many closed road only for drifting.-i can`t tell you what i had seen there coz i will cry :confused -

SALAM in arabic means: peace
