As much sideways as you want, actually I think I do too much sideways...
Yes, I actually aim behind the cone and I did it. It was so slippery I was moving completly sideways for like 50 meters.
Desperately trying to keep it on road on icy day
Here comes prpoper high speed drifting - possibly 3rd gear over here...
As it can be seen I nearly lost it...
Oversteer on long righthander...
My idea of a passenger ride. The guy liked it so much he later co-drived me in the rally.
And one more:
One for the cameras specially:
On the last one - don't have one with me driving a Cossie that day so a Scoobie with me at the wheel:

CJ-
Flicking it out for a static shot and getting it back is one thing, its holding it for a continous drift is the REALLY hard bit, it is an art, one that everyone thinks they got, until they see themselfs on video etc and realise what feels hugely sideways in-car is often barely noticable from the outside.

10K+ Poster!!
Cool pics 
The Dolly is well worth watching round Combe as the same from last year
(Maybe I might get a passenger ride this year 
) The others are just posers that almost lost it
Only kidding as there some great pics there Its easy to go sideways once, but more than that it takes a really good driver and some real control

Jakub - I'm disappointed in you! As a rally driver, you know full well that's not the fastest way round the corner

It really depends, sometimes it is. The track on which I can practise from time to time (the pics are from there) is VERY VERY slippery. I mean it's about the same as normal frroad when very wet on dry conditions and it's close to ice when wet. In such conditions it's pretty hard to make good times in 4x4 car without doing some sliding. Either you make it oversteer or it understeers. But I can do some clean line driving too. Although I don't know if I would be that good on racing track. I had an event today but I don't have a car so I could apear. They made amatour circut racing league overhere. Maybe I can do it when I'm back from Germany...
Anyway - some sliding can be fun although I don't really like drifting, theese are kind of hadicapped cars that don't really turn well, the same as drag cars, they are not real cars to me somehow.
By the way - I driven completly standard 2wd Saphy - that thing is really sideways, in slippery cconditions it even goes sideways on the straights :-D Fun to drive although it's hard to step on the loud pedal

By the way - there is much difference between setting the car to go through the corner sideways and just stepping on the throttle in RWD car to make it power-oversteer. Very easy to do that second thing, not so easy to do the first, sometime i feel I am qute far away from thefirst in some corners.. and sometimes I spin into the grass... (fortunately not the trees for some time now)
