<VV> Can the Beef car do this?

[Alan and Clare Wesson]

The 'Beef Car' reference is a bit lost on me - must be an American thing?

But the driving is STUNNING - I haven't seen Subarus driven like this since 
I went to Wales in my Turquoise 65 Vair to watch the RAC Rally in late 1997. 
I thought it would be the sensation of the parking lot, but all the rally 
boys were interested in was the Subarus and the Lancia Integrales - a Late 
Model Vair wasn't their kind of thing! But I love flat-out broadside, 
oversteer cornering, like Fangio et al used to do in the 50s (only they did 
it without seat belts, helmets or fireproofing!).

Did he mean to clip the bank with the rear of the car? I guess not, but 
we're all allowed the odd slip (although I suppose it's a good thing that 
the slip didn't come with the guy on the Segway).

Cheers

Alan

P.S. Check this out - you might have seen it, but if you haven't it is worth 
looking at. The context is the Anchor for the BBC's premier (only!) motoring 
programme, Top Gear, who did a 10 minute lap of the Nürburgring in a Jaguar, 
and the woman who is the regular driver there said she bet she could do that 
time in a diesel-powered VAN. She is called Sabine Schmitz and she very 
nearly managed - and she's kinda cute, so it's worth a watch - if you want 
to see other videos of her, do a Youtube search for Sabine Schmitz Top Gear:
