The Fast and the Furious: Swedish Drift

Drifting with cars is for wimps! Real men use tanks! :eek: (youtube link)

Write this down.
All Swedes are crazy.

It makes understanding them much easier.

Great link BTW, I sent it to all my buddies back at Volvo.

I guess it won’t surprise you then, when I tell you it was a Swede who sent me the link to begin with. (It also explains why on early model Saabs they put the radiator on the firewall.)

You can’t take a bunch of young guys, put them in a tank, have it snow around them, and expect them not to do anything about it.

I also feel obligated to point out that that is, in fact, not a Youtube link.

Of course with a tank you avoid all those embarassing questions to your CO when you drift a bit too far and take out a stand of trees.

“No. sir. Not us. Don’t know how that happened. Not a scratch on our vehicle, so it couldn’t have been us. Maybe it was a Finn.”

From what I understand of the Swedes, they’re more likely to blame it on the Norwegeans than they are the Finns for some reason. (Norwegean chrome is slang for rust in Sweden, it seems.)

I wanted to say that, but it was early, I’m on vacation, and I couldn’t be arsed to look up how to spell “Norwegean.” :smiley:

Never heard it.

Nor could Tuckerfan. It’s “Norwegian”.

Might a regional thing, or maybe my buddy, the Swede, is having a bit of fun putting the Yank on.

It’s not but the video is hosted by Youtube, at any rate.

Drift?! It’s a fine example of how to keep your barrel pointing at the target. :smiley:

What is that, a Leopard 2A4?

Almost. They displayed the type on the title: it’s a Stridsvagn 122.
