Top Gear Episode 370Z BLIND MAN DRIFT!!
 

Did anyone see the top gear episode where the blind man tries to drif out car?? i watch it sunday night it was awesome lol.

Yeah... it was a pretty good episode all in all.. they're slowly gettin better. TANNER seemed PISSED at first when trying to teach the guy to drive. and did you notice the "seeing eye-dog" pop up between Tanner's legs while they were driving... :driving:

i don't understand how the blind guy learned how to drive stick in about 2 mins

cause he wasn't blind.

idk man if u payed attention to him it def seemed like he was. from his reactions and how he did stuff. idk i thought it was pretty cool all in all. i just like it bc it was our car lol

post up a link please....

2 minutes on tv...im sure they did quite a few takes, wouldve been funny if they showed him bucking and stalling if he really did just pick it up though. but for the other challenges it doesnt take much knowledge/prior experience to do....tanner tells him to rev high and drop the clutch. a monkey can do that

i feel bad for those 2 Z's. they got abused.

let me guess, your car is a garage queen?

it's called "having fun".

It was fun. I want to try the box parking. Hell if a blind man can do it than I can too.

Still a lame show compared to the Brit version, but I agree they are getting better.

After watching them try to drift, it confirmed my suspicions that the Z is indeed "tail happy". In that case it's going to take someone with more skill than I have to be able to do it well.

Think I'm going to leave my VDC switch on for the moment....

:iagree:

I did like the part with Tanner driving in the snow though. Insane.

our cars can take beatings... trust me... Z on a track for 20 minutes of straight high revving is way more abuse than anything they did... A clutch and tires are easily replaced...

It upset me they did not take the 370z around the track though!!!


UK top gear had the 370z listed to be faster than the evo X and sti around the UK top gear track... That disapointed me.. After watching the evo X segment my girl was asking why I couldnt drive like that :bowrofl: , seems like the evo x is one bad *** bad weather car though.. that was impressive...

also the v12 vantage , regardless of how fast/slow it is , is one SEXY car.. the second episode was def better than the first ill give them that.

From what people have told me, the Z can get tail happy with VDC off...in terms of drifting it, the thing that makes it difficult with the 370 is the ABS.
When you are in the middle of a drift and you try to correct yourself using the brakes, the car straightens out breaking the drift.

EDIT: forgot to mention there's a fuse you can pull out to disable ABS but it also disables your brake lights.

Bah, who needs 'em? :rock:
