Z4M DONUTS! - Video - What you've all been tempted to do!

Post by Sim_Simma » Fri Aug 01, 2014 8:41 pm

I'm sure you've all been tempted to do this if you had somewhere to try. Well the owner of our yard at work gave me permission so I jumped at the chance -
If the Video doesn't work, please advise!

You just embed the code at the end of the URL in youtube square brackets like images... But I don't think this is working because you have the video set to 'private' on YouTube :?

Can't see it, but I can hear the YouTube link - the vid on Photobucket works though. Ace :thumbsup: I'd probably just stall mine :lol:

Should work now, just tried on the gfs phone as a guest and it works :)
You would be able to do it no problem! You're probably scared of breaking something :lol:

Works now :thumbsup:

Nowhere to try it unfortunately - I'd be more scared of hitting something... The grin on your face though :lol:

Unfortunately the lad who took the video is a sandwich short of a picnic :lol: he was recording on his phone and mine so would be difficult.
Another lad took a better vid, he's put in on Facebook but I don't know if I'd be able to link that.

truly couldn't help it! Haha,
an yes that's the problem and I had the same fear, the spot may just pop up somewhere. You'd love it honestly. It's so easy in the M, set off in 1st gear as slow as it will go without stalling, full lock, plant it! Jobs a guden, the non - M's won't be able to do it without an lsd though.
They can sort of drift around but not donut on the spot like that.
