Drifting's more fun when the clock is running and you're on a real road. There's a panning shot in "Too fast to race" of a Group B car sideways for about 30 seconds on a snow rally, it just goes and goes and goes. But we don't have that, so here's Hirvonnen.

Neighbors evacuated their apartment in the early '00s. Said I could take it for free, since they just bought a PS2. Also in the debris they left behind was this:

Yeah, same neighbors I was talking about when I mentioned playing old Avalon Hill wargames awhile back. I ended up with much more than a Playstation. Page 1943 if anyone's interested.
