Hi all
I know this is definitely not the best drifting vid that is up here, but I thought I'd share it with you.
I saw an accessible stretch of empty beach in Wales (UK) and decided to take my UZZ31 V8 Soarer over it.
Auto gearbox (Locked in 2nd) and no LSD, and air suspension pumped right up so no damage was caused to the underneath. This was 5 months ago and nothing has fallen off since then so please, don't ***** about how I abused her. A car is there for your fun and I service it whenever I can![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Can't tell if it's the dirt or not, but it just doesn't look like it has enough power to get drifting.
Wish we had that adjustable air suspension here though, would be soo useful!

But when I get a manual box + LSD I'll be straight back at the coast for the next try

The air suspension is -very- handy. I have a 3rd party controller unit for it that cost approx $200, and I can slam the car till it's undriveable, and raise it to about 25cm above the tyres, or any level inbetween.
It makes oil changes very easy

The sand was a good laugh, although it may look tame, it was one hell of a rough ride in the cabin hehe.
When I got back off this trip, I got the car on ramps and gave it a full clean, then washed and polished the body. She's been fine since :-)
