Love it! Especially #2

The great thing about Youtube is following the suggested links that come up at the end of the video.

Seriously cool, but WTBerkeley is "Tykkimaki Circuit"? I Googled, but all I got was the videos you posted, and a couple more.

Apparently it's in some Scandanavian country, but I don't know exactly where.

The Big Wheel link is Awesome. I want one. To funny!

When I win the $325 million dollar lotto tomorrow night I am buying a retired air base and building an automotive fun park with drifting lead sleds and high speed downhill big wheels.

If I give you the Aspire back, can i have lifetime passes?

First vid is the best, the car is sweeeet. What is it? I'd love one to do some photoshoots with...

+1 to Zman

Given that the name sounds much more Finnish and not so Norwegian/Swedish/Danish, plus the fact that some of the YouTube user's other vids are labelled as "Finland" I am guessing the track is in Finland. Not sure what the car is, I can ID most post-war imports but am lost when it comes to older American stuff.

Cool vid, thanks for sharing!

The track is in Kouvola, Finland, apparently. That's 140km NE of Helsinki, for those of you playing at home .

Really cool videos, btw. I loved the second one especially.

true rock-a-billies would not get in a huff when their wheel falls off mid burnout...

Ooooo... Drifting a torpedo body!

'48 - '49 Chevy and Pontiac. (that one was a Pontiac) They made coupes of the same thing that year, but I'm digging the torpedo.

All I can think of is "how could I drive the front wheel of that with an engine?"

The second video was just about how car cornered in the 50s and early 60s in regular road races. Four wheel drift was a way of life.

Man, I wanna build a 50s-ish road racer tribute!

We now have a better idea of how Duffy Livingston and Max Balchowski looked while beating the tea baggers (what Max called the import drivers - not the dirty thoughts you are obviously having - remember, it is the 50s and early 60s).

I had no idea the video of the poncho was shot over seas until I saw the description on Youtube. I watched it earlier this week. Now its even more BA.

Sure as E36 M3 sounds like it. 1st vid was awesome.

think it's time for him to invest in a torque wrench..??

It's great to see someone out flogging the old cars, brings joy to my heart.
