I bet that's had the back diff welded up. An old mate used to do it to scrap sierras and we used to make a course around the footprint of a demolished factory. You had to have the wheels smoking all the way round to win...Bloody good times! He also did it to a D reg BMW 525i and some car that looked like a talbot horizon but was rear wheel drive and began with an F
It died a death when I slid it underneath the front end of an artic trailer that was being held up with oil drums. Oil drums went flying and the trailer came crashing down. Only just got out, brown trouser time
If one of my lads did this when they are older I'd kill 'em!

I didn't watch all the video. Thought it was just of burn outs. Just had another look after your comment.
