To see our latest film before it's on KZbin: www.carfection.com
The new Ford Focus RS is a brilliant car, and we love its drift mode. It makes doing skids so easy Alex reckoned his mum could do it. So we took her to a track to find out...

"i trust you to the end",,,,what an achievement for any son to hear from own mom....loved it

[@joshmcbride13]

Love how she closes her eyes mid-drift lol

Lol so true 😂

She’s so powerful she doesnt need to see

Still faster than James May

[@appelpower1]

Well yeah, but is she faster than James's mum? Mrs May is faster than her own son, apparently.

[@jp_0118]

+appelpower1 lmao I remember that episode

[@soundseeker63]

She is. No apparently about it.

[@appelpower1]

soundseeker63 To give James some credit: at least he drove faster overall than his mum, thanks to Bugatti.

[@tuckers8470]

That was so lovley to see that your mom was willing to have a go. I could she looked quite frightend when she first did it, but she did amazing for her first time ever. Lol just don't put her through too much! xD

[@staminadaddy]

ayyy the bald guy is back. the best reviewer I have watched in a while

[@Kaisuke971]

Yes

Can we make a hashtag whereby we claim this man our hero/savior/God? Alex our savior. Change the anthem while you guys are busy with this Brexit nonsense..

Really nice how she always closed her eyes when the car went even a bit sideways. :-) You can be glad about the trust she has in you! Great video.

[@harrykwan734]

Alex, you've outdone yourself on making a charming and fun video. Your mum is spectacular for playing along! She gets bonus point for the pendant that matches the RS paint.

[@HexaSquirrel]

One of the best car videos i've seen for a long time. Thank you Alex and Carfection!

[@peace4myheart]

Your mom is adorable. I love it when she closes her eyes every time you drift. I was thinking to myself, I hope she doesn't do that when she drives. =P

[@fatboy19831]

My X girlfriend got into a BMW m3 first time around the wet skidpad at the BMW factory ( with the traction control on) She drifted the car consistently. I went wide.

[@leito1996]

Good she is X now... Not many guys would be able to cope with humiliation like that, glad you didn't do anything stupid.

[@fatboy19831]

Krzysztof Krawczyński She spun out in are jeep in the rain. I took her to a parking lot in the snow and showed her how to counter steer. The rest is history.

[@tysonwilliams3137]

My 2017 Nitrous Blue RS1 will be here October 26th this month and I am saving this video forever. Well done. I love this so much. I'm going to show my mom! 🙏🏻💙

[@eedoamitay3341]

This was great man, cars bring people together in many different ways

[@PatYouells]

Alex you're a great reviewer. I really enjoy your videos. Great job to you and your mom!

[@fondajames]

You of your best videos for sure lol felt so real

[@mudrfuqr]

My mom actually taught me how to powerslide, and that was just in a Outback, so I'd love to see what she could do in an RS.

[@samisuperhomine]

This was the best episode ever on this channel!

great video Alex - respect to your mum for having a go

Great episode Alex!

[@TheDisabledGamersChannel]

Aww your mum bless her heart, what a nice lady.

[@ThatUnemployedFriendOnATuesday]

Yes, she can drift after a drifting instructor, super wet track, and a drift button all come into play.

[@EddieFivespeed]

LOL Your mom is hilarious and lovely.

[@mattm1841]

haha i love that she closed her eyes for everything she was supposed to be watching. :P

Your mom is an absolute sweetheart. What a fantastic video! :)

This is like the best vid ever. Very cool idea

[@AstroFantastica]

Hahaha this is fantastic, bless your mum!

Ha! Give her the keys to my 2005 Mustang. That with cheap tires will drift if you lean against it while it's parked...

Good effort!

[@prettynormalme27]

@Carfecrion Alex, i dont know how much you earn from this stuff but please dont stop doing what you are doing here. A certain Chris left a similar venture on youtube and I for one preferred him sharing joy like this, like you are doing right now!

[@mystamac66]

best video ever, she kept shutting hers though, brilliant, cheers mate.

[@bismarchiavelli]

Your mom is ABSOLUTELY adorable. Like puppies and kittens cute. Really hope she's not racist. Loved the video. This should be a series.

[@ExtremeBogom]

Why would you wonder if she's racist? That's random and bazaar.

[@bismarchiavelli]

+Godless Gauntlet *Bizarre. It's because a lot of old white people are racist. Not random at all.

[@bismarchiavelli]

+Carfection Whew, that's a relief!

[@ExtremeBogom]

Oh really? And what evidence is that based on? How could you possibly know, and then compare, what all the different ethnicities think and feel once they reach a _certain_ age, leading you to such a conclusion?

[@bismarchiavelli]

+Godless Gauntlet Jesus H. Christ. No one can take a joke these days. First of all, I never said she was racist just that I hope she isn't (KZbin commenters need to work on reading comprehension). Secondly, it was a lighthearted video, therefore I made (in my opinion) an equally lighthearted comment. I don't know the adorable woman, so why would I allege anything. I now know that comments on KZbin videos need to directly reflect one's true thoughts and opinions and should be devoid of all humor and sarcasm. Thank you.

[@seantaylor2683]

This was awesome :P

yeh dude, great videos man, this one was hilarious.

[@Dharshanth.k]

your mom is bloody cool!!I just wished my mom was as cool as yours!! instead of asking me for my university results haha.but my mom is a lovely person! thanks for this bloody good video mate.

[@uaglio666]

Your mom is cool dude^^, I like the way she close her eyes when she try to power slide :d She is courageous and affraid in same time, so cute ^^ ths to her!

[@gregmakridis]

do a review to the 991.2 turbo s that's across the focus rs PLEASE

[@gregmakridis]

+Carfection oh yeah...it's been heard that the 991 gt2 rs is on the way...so im waiting for your review on that too...love your videos and also are you Greek?

[@gregmakridis]

+Carfection anyway glad you reply...thanks for the answer and please continue making us happy whenever you publish a review

[@Chandlers147]

ya i saw that too

[@ahmetsokullu1866]

Thank you Mrs. G

[@jackmama146]

Did you see the video where the rs driver accidentally put it in CRASH mode instead of DRIFT mode?

[@Qimchiy]

jack mama This got autoplayed after that video. ayyy

[@kidlat1968]

I had a 2016 focus rs but the seats and interior are way different with what he has and this video, and this video was published on 2016, just want to know the difference? im in the USA too maybe that will help?

[@brucemacdonald5532]

She shuts her eyes before the drift bless her!

[@safariqbal9645]

best video on a car review show, 😊

[@audiwankenobi361]

Your m(o)m is AWESOME!....I wish all older women had her demeanor.

[@bernardhossmoto]

I love it! Mum is so cool.

[@shaft9000]

Alex, your mum now has got more driving skill than most of the Porsche and BMW drivers in L.A. do

[@lancercool1992]

Mind I say, the drifts looked like a normal vehicle going through a corner with a bit of oversteer in the end. Motor trend gave the drift mode a C- and said "terrible", seems about right.

[@zkalireza]

Did she just say "... Cuz that gives the torque?" I think we have a winner here. Put her on the show man

[@miketype1each]

Looks like loads of fun. Pity that due to the enormously wide center stack, there is practically no room up front. Heavens, there is more front and rear legroom in a Honda Jazz. Anyway, your mum was a great sport!

[@daviddavila8969]

that has to be the sweetest lady ever and soooo cool for agreeing to do this

[@oryandovv1627]

That "oh my god" killed me😂

You bought one!? Oh damn you I want one too after driving it!

aww bring your mom to work day.. I didnt realize just how quick it is, that launch nice

Yeah man great channel. Interesting subject matter...even if you are a little british XD..........thx 4 makin the vids

[@davidbenitez2709]

Epic !

[@sakthidharan5641]

She closed her eyes when you taught her to drift, she closed her eyes even when she attempted to drift herself! Good stuff

[@Tretboot5]

Great idea to bring your mom in the video :D

She closes her eyes in every sharp turn! :D

[@richardp3067]

holy shit this is this best thing ever your mum is awesome!

[@theshonen8899]

She should start doing reviews.

[@ALMX5DP]

Almost looked difficult in the wet. I wonder if Drift Mode is so sophisticated that it recognizes the slippery surface and purposely makes it less prone to "kick out" knowing that it'll be harder to recover from?

[@danielkronberg8299]

What is the song at the end of the video? It seems too good to be stock music, but all my efforts to id it have failed.

I think it's fair to ask.... whos E30 is that parked on the track near the end? :o

[@davidkennel9117]

I have no Idea myself, but was wondering about the exact same thing!!!

Your mother is so funny 😂 inside she was probably so damn terrified, but, she still has the guts to do it anyways, also, can you send me that RS please? 😂

[@WinnipegCarSpotter]

Brilliant

[@Endureromex]

Cool mum! I would like to see you learning Greek !

[@pauljs75]

This is fun. But If you live where it snows, odds are good that mom is the one that teaches you how to drift. :)

[@ssorin295]

That e30 on 1:00...now that's a propper car!

[@systemtrend3194]

What is the name of the song playing at the ending credits? Starts at 6:00 mark. thanks

[@PaddyMcQueen]

Ford "drifter"... eye closed. Lol

[@PaddyMcQueen]

And btw if a car can be drifted by my mom there's 2 options: A) My Mom is a Drift Hero or B) it s not my kind of car (in FACT the electronics are drifting not the driver).

[@rustyshackleferd8487]

Cody Claydon The Ricer/JDM civic clearly never seen a nissan

[@ScottZ370]

Really struggle to get into the head of someone who is nervous when going about 7/10 fast, she had to keep closing her eyes!

[@FireballGER]

Hahahaha epic how she closed her eyes, when the drift starts XD Bless u and ure mom

[@walsheian]

Looks like you did not have the proper drift mode engaged, just selecting drift mode does not deactivate all controls you have to hold down the traction control button for 5 seconds and it will tell you everything has been disabled and proper drifting can commence

[@superduperkid3143]

love how they wait for a rainy day lol

[@benjohn626]

Your mother is absolutely adorable haha
