Now that's got to be the next big thing in motorsport. Oh wait, it's already a thing and YouTube has the evidence, watch from around 53 seconds onwards:

i can do that with my transit..

I wouldn't dare do such an irresponsible thing in an old car , but must confess that my Various RWD Volvos were all immensely satisfying to drive sideways and they're very forgiving, so even a complete numpty can look like they were taught to drift by no less than *insert name of drifting champion at time of reading this post* him/herself..

with a heavy heart i took transit for its ct (mot) fully expecting them to refuse to test her as she is still on english plates..... and she passed i am over the moon! i was more nervous about this than when wifey was in having the kids!
the chap did point out she needs 6 new tyres the seats are a bit sad a bulb was out & she is very very rusty.... but i am so pleased

Just like every other transit then. Nothing to worry about

You jammy b'sterd , I advise that you buy two lottery tickets tonight to capitalise on the theory that luck comes in clusters of three events. I take it that France has a lottery, other than the one which is clearly operating in testing stations?

i might take your advice there john i did get stopped by les gendarmes this week first time i have ever done the breath test.. i passed although mr flic was a bit cross i gave him an old insurance document.. i did find the right one though

I bet you are making that up. Truth is, when the French plod saw your clapped out rust bucket he thought you were taking it to the breakers yard. Thought to himself: "There might be a half decent battery in that."

i was out in the galaxy.. battery is only 12 months old... as for my transit, last summer i got stopped for flashing my lights & waving at my mates mum..
