You may well have read me boasting of my new J-turning and handbraking into parking spaces skills in my story about the Get The Drift stunt man training day. But it didn't all go so smoothly. Here I am attempting to drift an MX-5 around a steadily tightening spiral into a parking space. And failing miserably. Note the change in mood from goofy grinning to full-on diva strop and eventual giving up and handing the controls to the instructor to complete the humiliation.
 
Damn he makes it look so easy! This, you'll appreciate, did nothing to improve my mood.

Clearly I need practise. Clearly I need to go and buy an old MX-5... Or borrow CJ's.
