Never get tired of watching this.

[@pauljohnson7may]

Have watched the other videos of this guy. He must love that car and feel totally comfortable with it to be able to drive it the way he does.A credit to his driving and to who ever sets it up. Top man. Please post more,very, very entertaining.

Clearly driving for max fun rather than min time!

[@zachroberts3701]

I have 1976 triumph tr7 and boy would I like your setup. I'd make all the neighbors so pissed. I'd drive it just like that on the weekends around the neighborhoods lol

[@monsterp1970]

Never seen a TR7 doing drifting before, fantastic, especially around the S. Tyre smoke choking the co-driver, funny. 5 speed box too! I must find one of these track days this year

[@RWDXUP]

Puts a smile on face every time I watch this!

[@gleno2008]

You might know my uncle he raced in targa Tasmania years ago a blue EH

[@spookydog6959]

HOLY shit take that tuner geeks

[@philliptaylor502]

Very twitchy and on the limit of being almost uncontrollable, it’d frighten the life out of me.

[@bugattieb110ss]

THIS is Exactly why modern rallying is unpopular, dull and boring. Ban 4WD, RWD only, minimum of 5000 examples HAVE to be produced by manufacturers. Epic driving, sounds fantastic not a wastegate, dump valve or ghastly sounding anti lag system to be heard.

[@michaelm2502]

Agreed! Same for F1. Bring back manual gearbox, no tech assist, etc.

[@jasoncook6053]

times would be much better without all the wheel spin..power is nothing without control! lovely sound of the v8 though, mechanical music.

[@markparsons7469]

Just a fun day to take people for rides … can drive very straight and boring if there’s a chocolate fish up for grabs … fast, as you say, but becomes a bit dull and unexciting … 😁

[@jerseybean59]

Untidy. Make it more fluid and excerise balance. Make the car dance and avoid playing to the camara!

[@markparsons7469]

Haha … I respect your judgement, for, whilst I was having fun, it was exactly as you say … rough driving … in my defence, that was the 1st run driving in that direction on my local circuit that I’ve only ever driven the opposite way … I value smoothness and that was anything but … 🥴

[@garyscott5722]

Wheel spinning and drifting are all time losers. Great skill though.

[@jfb17042]

It won't be long till that car is smashed, if it isn't already.

[@markparsons7469]

Have had it 33 years and done huge racing / rallying mileage in that time … having ground up rebuild atmo … hope you’re wrong … but reality says each time you race or rally, shite might happen … maybe stay in bed ?
