My Drifting Experience

So I had always asked, "How do I drift???". The reply I got was:- "Pull the handbrake and turn the steering, with a little power on the accelerator". But somehow this simple way felt too bold a step to take in my father's car. After all what if the car turns over just like Daniel Craig in Casino Royale did. I don't care about anything happening to me but was just worried about the car. So I thought "Someday when I will have my own car, then I will try out".

But fate had some other plans. Today I got my hands on a WagonR. For those of you don't know it's not a drifting car cause it has got a little extra height and isn't that long. It's more of a van. It looks somewhat like this.

But I was determined and there was no stopping me. I went to a middle of a grassy patch with about speeds of 60 km/hr, pulled the handbrake a little and turned the steering. The car didn't turn over but it did an amazing 180 turn and screeched to a stop. My brother sitting by my side was quiet horrified (Actually I was too). It took 2 kit-kats to keep his mouth shut. But it was first of a experience and I won't forget it.

Also if anybody knows any other way to drift and have tried it out, please do tell.
