you know i am sure rear wheel drive vehicles are meant to be fun in the wet (obviously sensibly).

but for some reason my Navara does not want to play, is this common..

admit i have not driven around on gravel or a muddy field yet...

I would have to agree,when on the round about 2nd or 3rd, slip the clutch a bit and then catch the rear end. Its brilliant fun, especially when u have some rude boy in a saxo or something following you round a roundabout trying to get past. hehe :lol: :lol:

is it new?
It gets better when it loosens up and the tyres wear down a bit! :partycheer:
Its not easy though, I tend the make it oversteer on roundabouts then boot it, rather than rely on just the throttle :thumbleft:

Have to say i would never do it in the dry as it would would wreck the joints all over the Nav.

However, i have messed about in a wet field. Its a friends of mine and its the only time i've really done it. Some vids at night and some at day

And a vid of me getting the Nav Dynod (no modifications just standard) Came out with 188bhp and 375torque. Only thing i can think of is why i have more BHP is cause i had only just got my clutch changed (fauty clutch, suprise suprise)

the nav is quite easy to get sideways, its all about breaking the grip and then keeping the throttle down, it is a little jumpy as the nav is a heavy beast and creates quite a bit of inertia! It will also doughnut and create good tyre smoke!

Yes i spent most of my youth messing about in cars on airfields, fast fords! Got done by the police once for a "play street offence" one point on liscence
