Someone uploaded some VBRUN.dll files, sounds like a virus probably. I wouldn't download those. Please get the movies back up and edit the permissions so users can only download, not edit/upload.

I'm copying the ones I downloaded back up to the folder. Should take about ten minutes.

For anyone downloading, only grab the 2 .WMV files. Leave the rest alone. And COPY, don't CUT or MOVE.

I got the vid a few days ago. I can put it up, but I'm on 56k, so you'll all have to wait till I go to bed (probably around midnight EST - video should be up by 1:00AM at the latest.

WOAH, and I thought I was a crazy ************! You're insane.
I don't think I've ever left the drivers' seat while driving the car. Wow.

Nice 360. The pavement doesnt' need to be wet.
Get the ***** to do it at high speed (100+KPH) and you'll find it's actually easier! but NOT in a car with grippy tires or a high centre of gravity. Wouldn't want you rolling it or something.
The trick is to flick the wheel (but NOT to the lock, just enough to rotate the car) to get the car spinning (and pull ebrake) as soon as the car is started countersteer! (don't worry, you wont' get it back, the ebrake is pulled), as soon as you're at about 110 degrees (maybe even a little sooner) release the ebrake and you should have the wheels well steered back to this point, the car will snap right around. Hold the car in whatever gear is appropriate at roughly the right RPMS so the revs are reasonably matched. Dump the clutch and you're on your way.

The trick to powerslides is to not let the rears get insanely out of control. This usually isn't a problem on lower HP cars (like the FB), but if it's wet, can be. As soon as you feel you're starting to lose it, let off the gas, even pull the ebrake a little (just enough to get some braking in the rear, and some weight on it. Not enough to lock) and you should regain control pretty quickly. Remember to let the suspension settle before doing anything stupid again.

Ya I got better clips of 360s in my hyundai pony they are perfect and I maintain momentum. You do need about 80-120 kmh to make them look good and the reason my dry ones didnt come around all that easy is because I had R-compound on the car which are not a good idea. They are a little to sticky which makes it a little more difficult.
