that guy looked like he was having a laugh. I would love to drift one of those trucks around like he did.

Not me officer but it is rather easy to get a unit to slide on slush or damp greasey roads like that, youve got 400 plus horse power, more torque than you can shack a stick at and 75% of the weight on the front axle, just turn all the electric aids off, stick it in about 4 high or 5 low, give you self plenty of room and make sure the boss aint around

I bet Bootys old tug drivers got up to it all the time, their great for doing donuts

Terberg YT182's. 3 speed auto's too. Used to eat tyres ( and still do ) like they were going out of fashion. Used to have 'Wastemaster' tyres on off the dustbin trucks to try and save on tyre wear. They would do a set of rears in just under two months. Mind you they were 24 / 7.
