Winter hoon
What can we say? We’re in a winter kind of mood. Here’s an Alfista admirably hooning his 75. We’re jealous of all that snow. And open space.

I am sorry, but this guy is a total, total wanker and I am surprised that you post this as “admirable”. There is no way one can reliably control a vehicle in those conditions (as seen at 0:17) showing in fact total disrespect for the car. Regardless of the fact that there is nobody to be seen, I doubt that he closed the road off for personal use. I love what can be done in these conditions by rally drivers, but there is no connection here. Youtube is filled with asshats who did the same but with less lucky outcomes.

Title says “winter HOON”, what did you expect?

okay, the actions themselves are dubious (no disagreement), but i found the car control on display to be relatively admirable, 0:17 notwithstanding 😉

Ok, ok, agreed it does look damn cool. 😀

Heh. I’ve dome that many a time on a snowy road. Not sure which was more fun, my old Saab 99ems or my Tacoma in 4wd high! I assume this guy had studded tires or chunky Hakkapellittas or something similar.

I think he may have crossed the double yellow…;-)

Hi,
Above all, compliments for the very interesting blog, who allowed me to find the very beautiful race of 911 Cup that I had see live on TV when I was young 😉
I just wanted to clarify that contrary to what you may think at about 0:17 sec is not a loss of control, but a U-turn at hand-brake voluntary to come and get my cameramen 🙂
Moreover, we do not see it on this video, but I’m doing this figure several times 🙂
And I use simple winter tires, Goodyear Eagle Ultra Grip GW3 in 195/50/15. Also, this road there is hardly any traffic and from here I was , impossible to miss if someone coming , so practically no risk of collision.
But you’re right, it’s dangerous, please don’t try this at home !!!!
