Many many years ago in the 50's when I was learning to drive my cousin had a 34 V8 coupe.
We used to put smooth
tyres on it and take it out in the wet paddocks and learn how to control skids. Didnt take long to master it.
Then I lived at the end of 79
MILES of windy gravel road into Milford Sound In NZ
At the time I owned a 54 Austin A70 Hereford skiinny crossplys and all.
The most horrible car on gravel you could imagine.
We used to thrash it in and out of there in great time.
Never went off the road and when we got to the tar seal one morning my wife
said "Thank god for that I'm sick of looking out the side window to see the road"
Certainly taught us how to handle a car.
How many kids today even start to learn that sort of stuff.
Its burnouts around traffic islands these days, frequently ending up against a pole.
Why, because they do exactly the wrong thing and hit the brakes.
